Below is one of the Android Developer videos release by Google about two weeks ago. I didn’t pay too much attention to these at first, mostly due to time constraints, but I finally got around to watching it the other day. The video shows SkyPop principals Bruce Leak and Timo Bruck presenting what their company was able to do with Android during their first few days of exploratory development.

At one minute in, Bruck demos what he describes as a ‘team geo-caching game,’ that falls in line with our definition of either a pervasive or ubiquitous game. I still haven’t had time to get deep into the SDK, but if per/ubi game development is as easy as Bruck implies, Android might truly be the catalyst to the public proliferation of pervasive/ubiquitous gaming.
