My first Android application
28 Oct
My colleague at Web Ascender, Jeff McWherter, suggested an idea for an Android application one day. The concept was a caller id service that would retrieve information for unknown numbers when the phone rang. The next day I had a proof of concept and since then I have developed the app into a working version. The application uses the WhitePages API, and was effectively bought by them. Here’s a video.
Update:
Here are reviews and sightings of the app from around the interwebs:
