I believe there are two parts to the answer. One is that OHA is
getting Innovation. $5m can make Innovation pop up really quickly.
Along with that however, is that you have to have the potential for
Innovaton. ADCI gave us a couple good innovative Apps. Quite frankly
that innovation has run out of steam. Right now there are no more
innovative apps that one can create with Android. There are only so
many things to do with the Barcode. So there won't be Innovative Apps
coming from ADC II at this time.
Why no more Innovative Apps? Because there's no Identity and Device-to-
Device communication. With those two things combined with Location
Android would most definitively take off so that they could run that
Cool commercial. :) The reason is because those things enable
Mashups!
You CANNOT really do Innovation with Location without Virtual
Contacts. And you need Virtual Identity (outside of regular contacts)
for that. And you need Device-to-Device even just for a basic level of
communication. Once we have these coupled with the full knowledge that
soon they will be in the hands of millions and then billions, then the
skies the limit for Innovative Apps. Then you can have an app called
"Genie-ology" which will identify strangers who are related to you
because each one of you has put in his geneology graph into the phone.
Frighteningly Cool! ..All enabled by the concept of Virtual Contacts.
And the App I'm building for ADC II Alone can make Android Take off.
