Tim’s blog, the O’Reilly Radar “watches the alpha geeks” to determine emerging technology trends, and serves as a platform for advocacy about issues of importance to the technical community.

I particularly enjoyed the parts of the keynote where he describes how the web is growing and learning like a child.  I have used the same comparison when referring to our site and I think it perfectly describes the Android platform.  Google may have severely crippled the Market left out some things, but the community has stepped up to fill the holes.

Speaking of changes, we have a lot in store for our regular readers.  We are always open to new ideas though.  Our goal is to provide value to our readers, so let us know how we can help.

O’Reilly Media, Inc. has also just released their first Android book “Android Application Development: Rough Cuts Version“.  You can pre-order a copy now for only $24.99.

Tim O'Reilly Talks About BarTor.

Thank you Andreas from 3banana for the tip.

When asked to describe the development process Justin shared this with us:

“Again, I want to express my appreciation for the inspiration and support that AndroidAndMe has provided throughout this product. It has been a great learning experience and has allowed me to grow my knowledge of Android as a platform. I’ve never done mobile development, nor have i done Java development, and quite frankly had never intended to until Android came along. Plans for the future include frequent (hopefully) updates to BarTor as new features are requested, as well as additional projects as they arise. I’ve a lot of ideas, and I’m sure that there are plenty of ideas floating around on the web. I’m always looking for a good challenge. And you can bet I’ll be waiting for the next Bounty.”

Some of the new features include:

• uTorrent & Vuse support
• Load By URL, Load By File
• KTorrent – PHP and HTML Interfaces
• Sort By Publish Date or By Seeds and Leechers (Default)
• Purchase opportunities upon Barcode Lookup – Long Click result to open Browser.
• Failed Submissions to the Client are retried automatically at application open and exit.
