We have the product on phones with four of the top six major US carriers.

So I've been working with the internals of Android for a while. I can't really say anything about when, or with what carrier, this work will show up with, but I keep getting to work with the platform at various levels.

The prior company that I helped start made games for cell phones. I worked at that for four years. Oh, how I wish there had been a platform like Android then!

I've also started writing little apps for Android on the side. I've got an ADP-1 at work, as well as rooted G1's and MyTouches. My personal phone is an Ion that I got at the Google IO conference.

I just published my first Android Marketplace app...but I think there's probably a forum for that somewhere on here so I'll put that announcement where it belongs.
