AndroidNothing helps developers in their learning the “secrets of the trade” like the good ol’ example apps. Google knows that hence they’ve started assembling Google Code repository called “apps-for-android” where interested developers will be able to grab sample apps’ source code.

The first application called WikiNotes is already there, and we guess in the coming weeks and months we’ll see more apps added to the repository. In the meantime, if you’re interested in developing for what could be one of the dominant smartphone platforms in the future, you could go through WikiNotes, which is a rich text editor “designed to be as simple as possible while still demonstrating several major concepts of the Android platform.”

What are you waiting for? Google provides you with SDK and examples, while you can count on exposure on IntoMobile in case you develop something interesting. Good luck! ;)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    There will be soon, so it would be a good ideá to get a head start. Also, I belive you can already install it on any MS based device, you just have to delete the MS ofcourse. (correct me if I’m wrong)

    Hi,
    I recently bought a G1 from German t-mobile.
    I like the WikiNote application.
    Is there a way of opening and editing the notes on my (windows) laptop?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best,
    Manfred Haebig
