Why Me, Why Android .... the Journey till date

There are a million reasons why the developer community has been moving over to Android Development, some think that open source is the way to go, others because of their sheer hatred for Apple Inc.

Is any of these reasons enough to join the Bandwagon.

I was introduced to Android at work when my manager kept his promise and gave me a work item to develop in it.

My instructions were crisp and clear "You take a day to learn an Android and start with your work item from tomorrow".

I was thinking "How can people think that development on a new platform can be so very easy"..... But I was indeed able to learn enough in one day to start working and correcting a few "Activities" (you would know what this is if you are an android developer).

Then I did a lot of study to put to words what I had learnt about development in Android and learning android started becoming fun.

Now 9 months after I first wrote a piece for Android and which also earned me my first trip to US, I think , I love the platform and while I am at it, I will sure start trying as hell to make this platform an awesome experience for android users.
