Jesse Vincent's full Android Open 2011 session — 150 slides on the fragmented Android distribution ecosystem (73+ stores beyond Google Play) and what he learned shipping K-9 Mail and the commercial Kaiten Mail through every one of them. Real revenue numbers, real review delays, and a candid look at the gap between Google Play and everyone else. (Distinct from the on-floor O'Reilly interview already in the manifest.)
