I thought it was there already, but good. This'll be just in time for me and my Evo.
I suppose this is going to make it even harder for me to decide what to get when my current contract expires. One thing that drives me nuts about Android, though, is how un-uniform the platform is...it seems up to the hardware maker if they're going to support new versions of the OS, and they don't seem to have any incentive to do so. Meh, I have time (about 5 months), so I guess we'll see.
That is great. I have a T-mobile myphone and that would be great. I would like B&N to make an app for android too. I have a Nook and iPad and would like to be able to sync them with my phone.
What was hinted at in those leaked Dell Streak flyers is now official: Kindle for Android. Unfortunately, it's not quite ready to download. Amazon's free Kindle ebook reader -- already out for Mac, PC, BlackBerry, and iDevices -- won't launch until later this summer. When it does, users of Android 1.6 and above (with SD card) will have the ability to search, browse, and purchase (without exiting the app) any of the half million books in the Kindle Store. Like the other apps, Kindle for Android features Whispersync to keep your bookmarks, last page read, notes, and highlights synchronized across all your Kindle-enabled devices. Expect to see this demonstrated at Google I/O starting tomorrow.
