The example Al gave, "secrets-for-anndroid" is open source itself, so are they somehow harming themselves? The fact that this is an open source project will actually benefit others. Newcomers to Android can take a look at that app and learn from it, possibly even improve upon it. The way I see it, it is competition and if the others are not willing to step up their game a bit and "compete," then that is their own fault. If google decided to make an app similar to one of the ones I've released, then I would need to either improve upon mine to compete, or suck it up and move on. ~clark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
