It's taken a few years, but mobile and devices are finally hot. How hot? Like biting into a freshly ripe, raw, Habanero chili kind-a-HOT. Can you taste the virtual heat on your virtual tongue yet?

Yowza! The point I'm trying to get across is this. The broader mobile and device industry has finally gone mainstream. Why else would you be reading this right now? Intellectual curiosity? Well, maybe, but I'm wagering much more likely, because you want to learn about the amazing and wonderful world of mobile, today!

Yes, folks, I think you'll agree almost 100 percent that mobile is finally hip, cool, sleek, and dare I say it: glitzy. Unless you been living in some proverbial cave for the last few years, you know this for a fact! Like it or not, our modern societies now operate in a world dominated with internet connected small-screen pocket-sized Smartphone, e-readers, mid-screen sized Tablets, and large screen digital TVs, and countless other gadgets and gizmos in all their bountiful and lavish form factors. In fact, with all these devices and platforms, recently, it occurs to me as if we're all at some gigantic virtual party, and there's one huge smorgasbord on the dinner table for developers to dig into. Of course, I'm sure you'll agree the Android dish is one of the main courses you are eyeing to gobble down, first, right?

As an early adopter to the mobile industry, and one of the brave souls who pioneered work with Flash and other early mobile technologies on various mobile and device platforms over the years, it gives me great satisfaction to see what I had been advocating has finally come to fruition. Yes! That proverbial egg timer has finally rung, and the apps are flying out of the oven. Careful, boy are they RED HOT!
