Footage from the conference

What is particularly interesting is the "Android" O/S and the "Developer Challenge"
Google are offering $10 million to developers who produce the best apps. That should spur a few people on. Details on the Android SDK here

It also looks like devs won't have to get a stamp of approval when releasing their stuff. Unlike iFone developers who require approval from Apple

What are the chances of seeing a Blitz-like development language for Android? -- Android SDK
The guy from the conference talks about access to the hardware buffers which is good enough to get me interested

Example "Android Hello World"

package com.android.hello;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       TextView tv = new TextView(this);
       tv.setText("Hello, Android");
       setContentView(tv);
   }
}
