Google's G2 freebiee for developer community

I wish I could lay my hands on G2 distributed by Google at the Google I/O conference.

But then Google really needs to thank its developer community, with just one handset model out in the market (G2 expected)

The number of Android apps for just one handset speak for themselves

Android Apps available on Android Market = 168

Pricing Category # of Apps
Paid All 33
Free Communication 10
Free Entertainment 7
Free Finance 8
Free Lifestyle 11
Free Multimedia 5
Free News & Weather 8
Free Productivity 8
Free Reference 9
Free Shopping 7
Free Social 8
Free Tools 6
Free Travel 10
Free Games - Arcade & Action 12
Free Games - Brain & Puzzle 10
Free Games - Card & Casino 10
Free Games - Casual 6


168

Android apps available on Handango = 242

Category # of Apps
Business & professional 12
Education & Reference 46
Entertainment 134
Personal Productivity 30
Software Tools 12
Travel 8
242

Given the nature of apps available in the market for the Android platform it is quite apparent that the developer community is not taking the platform in the direction of a platform of apps for the enterprise.
