I do not fully understand Grand Central, but Android phones want an umbilical cord to the net so heavy processes can run up there and interact with the phone based on event information derived from the cloud.
Our application is traffic alarms specific to your routine routes i.e. I have to leave home now AND drive this route to make it to work on- time. It's coordination tool. Coordination requires an awareness of environment, or context, that is too communication heavy to be done cost effectively by the handset processor. Other applications are shopping agent tools that take location (light information from the phone) and cross it with personal profiles and databases on the web. The personal profiles want to be in a private web spot, hopefully grand central or something like grand central is that spot. I would guess that out of 1700 entries, 500 would work better with a very connected web based proxy and 200 actually called for or tried to implement something. So a really good, secure coordinating space in the sky with an umbilical cord to an Android phone makes great sense. I know we called for it in our documentation. Between 5 and10% of the other entries likely did as well. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but Google has a habit of listening and delivering (although not as quickly as some would like). Did this stay on topic, sort of?
