Android Market's open content distribution system will help end users find, purchase, download, and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices.

Android Market's open content distribution system will help end users find, purchase, download, and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices.  Android's My Downloads screen will let users track applications they've installed from Android Market.  Divide and Conquer, a simple game inspired by JezzBall, demonstrates Android's use of the touch-screen interface.  Android Photostream is a Flickr photos browser and viewer for Android handsets.  The cab4me application, a $275,000 winner in Google's Android Developer Challenge I, uses the phone's GPS to automatically call a cab to any location.  Find the cab provider closest to you with Cab4me.  Ecorio runs in the background on your phone, keeping track of your movements and tallying up the trips that you take each day.  Ecorio, a winner of $275,000 in Google's Android Developer Challenge I, calculates a user's travel carbon footprint and suggests ways to reduce energy consumption.  Select trip and Ecorio shows how to make the same journey using public transit, if available. It also displays carpools that are available for that trip.  Teradesk, a $100,000 winner in Google's Android Developer Challenge I, is a virtual file storage and remote file access tool, allowing users to keep their files in the cloud, accessible from anywhere.
