I should have qualified that more, as I knew it was blatantly wrong, one of my cousins works as a consultant for Microsoft in finance (non software development) :-). However, I haven't seen any of these companies working "one on one" with app developers, it is -- as you correctly said -- with large corporate clients. App development takes a special place: I doubt any single person has nearly enough money to make it worthwhile for any of these large firms to take bait for an indie developer (as I'm also sure that Google surely has consultants working with HTC, it's just probably not listed on their website, I'm sure if you email them and they know you, you could easily enough arrange a deal...) kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
