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?
