Looking gooood!

It seems that Epic has the famous demo Epic Citidel up and running on a Galaxy S! This is the engine powering the graphically AMAZING infinity blade for iOS devices. It hasn't been released yet, but it's running now, and is a milestone for development.

But not everything is sunshine and kittens. The interview reveals that the Android hardware fragmentation makes development more difficult as does the multitude of Android App stores.

Wilbur: One of the problems with the Android marketplace is hardware fragmentation, that’s a really big issue. The other thing is marketplace fragmentation, there are so many different appstores out there. The Android marketplace is a little more difficult [to develop for] because there is less control. I think the Android marketplace is robust … I find it very easy to buy things on it, it’s just that Apple has very tight control. So anything in the Apple world is perfect. It’s just perfect. We like that, we like that a lot. We know that it’s just gonna work. Sometimes that’s not always the case in the Android marketplace.
Interesting times ahead. Still, it's nice to know that Android is attracting the largest of names.
