Calling All Android Owners!

* you must have a mac to use the SDK (or emulate blah blah blah)

2nd: quite everybody has a jailbraken iphone. Just uploading the file anywhere.

Both of these statements are utterly useless. You don't pay for the actual content in the SDK (although it may seem that way). You pay for the "privilege" to develop for Apple (note that the cost is $99/year), that includes having an account for the market system. Also, relying on the fact that SOME people have a jailbroken phone is not the way to do business either, you reach 1% of your potential market.
In contrast, Android gives up their SDK for free, including source code for the OS itself! I payed $25 ONE TIME FEE to setup a market account and they DO NOT take a cut of my app sales. Apple takes 30% of every sale you make on their market.

Heh, it's not like they don't already have enough money with their hideously overpriced iPads, iPhones, and laptops. Greedy jerks.
I've got both an iPhone and the Android running Motorola Backflip and could help test products for either. The Backflip has a penchant for breaking 99% of apps too since you have to contend with its dual touch pads and rotating screen.

BTW guys, I released my first app last week with my friend from Michigan.

You are welcome to download it of course, let me know what you think.
PS... it's utterly useless unless you go to the University of Michigan, hehe.

Give me an hour and a half and I could be there! Are you still working on any other apps right now? I just saw this thread thanks to your bump.
