I'm sorry for being a bit blunt, but that's not the way I see it.

Android as just another phone OS is just as interesting to me as
Symbian, iPhone or Windows Mo (i.e. - not very much). If that's all
Android is, I'd just be reviving my Free Runner and be working on
OpenMoko right now. The thing that makes Android interesting is it's
open source. This means that, as far as I'm concerned, your weekend's
is, by far, more important work than the rest of the months spent
producing proprietary, closed software.

Put another way - I'm willing (and anxious) to help with the month's
worth of hard work, but without your hard work, I wouldn't even be able
to be a bystander.

So I second Ryan.

Shachar
