Hello All,
I run a digital surveillance manufacturing company based out of Florida. We have offices worldwide in which we distribute our products. We manufacture a stand alone embedded Linux based DVR system as well as an array of surveillance cameras and accessories.
Our goal is to develop a client software application in which we can stream video, control cameras and configure settings via the Android OS. Our chief engineer is willing to work closely in getting any material that is needed to develop this program. Please reply via PM or post so we can discuss this current project at hand.
This is a paying job and focus right now is mainly for the G1 (dream).

REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 21, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced a set of broad-reaching changes to its technology and business practices to increase the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for developers, partners, customers and competitors.
Specifically, Microsoft is implementing four new interoperability principles and corresponding actions across its high-volume business products: (1) ensuring open connections; (2) promoting data portability; (3) enhancing support for industry standards; and (4) fostering more open engagement with customers and the industry, including open source communities.
"Ensuring open connections to Microsoft’s high-volume products. To enhance connections with third-party products, Microsoft will publish on its Web site documentation for all application programming interfaces (APIs) and communications protocols in its high-volume products that are used by other Microsoft products. Developers do not need to take a license or pay a royalty or other fee to access this information. Open access to this documentation will ensure that third-party developers can connect to Microsoft’s high-volume products just as Microsoft’s other products do. "
"Microsoft is providing a covenant not to sue open source developers for development or non-commercial distribution of implementations of these protocols. These developers will be able to use the documentation for free to develop products."

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and explain if it means any positive news for our Windows Mobile devices. They aren't high-volume devices according to the press release, and they didn't specifically mention them, but they are opening up the APIs for Exchange Server. Will that help in making apps for our XDAs? Interesting read anyways.
Here's my take.
There are two reasons for doing this.
First, as the world business climate changes and MS grows, antitrust issues are not going away. With a high probability of a democratic presidency, you can pretty well plan on more probes into MS business practices. EU regulators have already stated that they are going to be watching this one closely. Open architecture would place MS in a better position to defend themselves.
Second, "open" increases dependency. If you are a developer and you build your tools around the "open" MS architecture, where are you going to send your customers to buy base applications? In theory this would increase the number of units sold (breadth) but not increase the number of functions provided (depth). The net impact would be a much more stable revenue base for MS and not an "all or nothing" approach. Remember, Microsoft does not do ANYTHING that they do not believe contributes to their long term viability or profitability.

This job posting is exciting for two reasons:
1 - If its legit (and why wouldn't it be) This is at least tells us Netflix wants to be on Android and is trying to work it out. Not sure when its going to happen though, but at least they're trying.
2 - I'm not much of a techie, but if I was this sounds like a great position. I'm sure some of you guys/gals patrolling XDA (who live in the SF Bay Area) might just be perfect for this job
I would especially love that line close to the bottom:
We pay top of market for top talent. We work to attract the best and brightest and pay accordingly.
From what I understand, Netflix has a great corporate culture, too. It's very results-oriented, which is very nice sounding if you've ever worked in an engineering sweatshop.
-I am not affiliated with Netflix in any way-
