Google Giving Away Phones!

I received an email a few days ago saying that Google was going to send me a Nexus One, because I had an application in the Android Market with a rating of 3.5 stars or higher, and over 5000 downloads. It sounded too good to be true, but it appears to be legitimate, as reported on TechCrunch.

According to Google, the intent of this giveaway is to stimulate Android development. Google would like existing apps kept up to date, and new ones written. Their generosity seems to be having its intended effect, at least on me, because now I find myself trying to come up with ideas for new Android applications, or features to add to my existing one.

Thanks to everyone who downloaded and rated PostBot. I’m glad some of you have found it useful.
