ParticipantI’ve always been pretty much a middleware and enterprise web guy. I got thrown into some E2E applications that were talking to mobile devices (J2ME) a few years ago and I picked it up pretty quickly.
The reason that I haven’t done any iphone or android work? I’m busy earning a living and my work doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m always learning a few new things here and there (I read alot) but going full bore into doing phone development on a new platform requires an investment in equipment (you need at least one phone to develop to) and quite a bit of time.
And, frankly, I’d rather do the server side piece in a smartphone app than the client UI anyways 😉

ParticipantIn my personal experiece, it’s been challenging to find truly talented developers for some time now and I don’t expect that the larger candidate pool that exists as a result of layoffs has done much to improve upon that.
I’m certain I’d be able to help you, but I’d also need to understand your needs more completely. To be clear, I’m a developer and not a recruiter. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

ParticipantBTW, there are some weird things with Android and the G1 that you don’t discover when you are on the emulator but cause great pains when you deploy to the real phone…they’ve bit a few of my colleagues :-0
Like, your app starts and you show a login page and everything looks fine. Using the emulator, you enter your credentials with the keyboard. You don’t realize that on the real phone you have to slide open the keyboard and the screen rotates..now your nice UI not so nice anymore…funny stuff.
