Mobile application developers usually groan at having to support yet another operating system, so in this eComm 2009 talk why does Voxmobili's Director of Product Management, Florent Stroppa, applaud the arrival of Android?

Stroppa explains the motivation behind the build of his PhoneBook 2.0 application - one of 50 to win the first round of the Google Android Developer Challenge - before moving on to discuss some advantages of Android.

With a free license, equal rights for apps, and mashup capability, to name just a few, Stroppa shares the reasons why he's excited about the new mobile eco-system Android is creating, and how it's allowing users, developers, handset manufacturers and operators to focus on what they do best.
