Google has officially posted the SDK for Android (Google Mobile Phone Platform) and is seeking out developers who wouldn’t mind making a couple bucks from a nice application built on the new platform.

No, you probably won’t make the kajillion dollars like other entrepreneurs, but you WILL get your company in the limelight and you may even score one of those snazzy, but yet to be seen devices.

Check out the details from the Compiler section of Wired and Good Luck!

Google is indeed putting the final touches on a mobile software environment based on the original Android software base. It’s expected that the software will be released within the next six months on handsets from just about every major carrier.

So, why then, am I unsure of the fallout from this? Because I worry that an open source environment dispatched to millions of hackers could have an eventual impact on my ability to complete the most basic of functions including, you know, phone calls.

I have a sincere geek interest in working on new interface designs and user experiences pertaining to mobile environments, but I also have an interest in creating usable and safe ones as well. In the next year or so, we’ll see how well the phone carriers and, to some extent, Google keep out the hooligans (Is Gooligans trademarked yet?).

Either way, the idea and promise of an open source mobile platform is exciting and new and I want in.

Entering late to the online software party will be Adobe Systems with their purchase of Massachusetts-based Virtual Ubiquity, Inc (http://www.virtub.com/), a software company building online business communication and productivity tools including the hyped “Buzzword” word processor.

According to Virtual Ubiquity, the main product offers an online and realistic version of a popular Word processor who’s main feature is WYSIWYP (What You See Is What Your Print). I’ll certainly be looking forward to what Adobe does with this product and just how fast they can turn it around and add like-minded products now that the staff and money will be there to back it up.

Google is very far along in this market, but the alleged quality of the Buzzword product might mean that being late doesn’t mean being out.
