At this pace, mobile application development is probably bound to become one of the most fragmented software activities.

Today Google announced Android, "the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices.", following the (quiet) acquisition of the company ( http://www.android.com ) two years ago.

Besides Google's name (as if that weren't enough), 34 other companies (forming the Open Handset Alliance) are involved in the platform: T-Mobile, HTC, Motorola and Qualcomm, just to name a few.

Besides the initial buzz, this will probably bring some interesting news in the next few weeks.
