It’s “Android porting” craze out there. OpenFeint and ScoreLoops have such programs in place and now Tapjoy is joining the party with a brand new $5 million Android Fund. As part of the deal, they will offer monetary and development support to game developers looking to port existing content and apps to the Android platform.
Tapjoy will provide full porting and testing services to ensure the apps work on all of the leading Android handsets, while also providing developers with its virtual currency monetization engine, game state server for virtual economy management, mobile analytics platform and other value-added services. Additionally, selected games will receive free marketing credits for new user acquisition through the company’s performance-based ad network.
Of course it is presumed apps which will benefit from this program use Tapjoy’s SDK. That shouldn’t be a problem considering that their tools are already used in more than 1,000 mobile applications, reaching over 200 million mobile consumers…
Interested developers can get additional information from this page on Tapjoy’s website.

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.
