The Android SDK was dropped on Monday, had this up by Tuesday. Drupal Rocks!
Background
FatAtlas.com, now in Beta, is designed to be a hyperlocal news atlas. It contains 2mm locations and serves as a multisite webfarm for a portfolio of city/country domain names (See http://fremont.us/ ).

This is a very early stage proof on concept site, for a port into SmartPhones running on Webkit browsers. WebKit is the browser for Android, iPhone and Nokia phones (S60 has 36 devices/phones). This make this a potential platform for Drupal Mobile. What makes this possible is SmartPhones have increased in power, mobile browsers are incorporating many features we see in desktop browsers (css, javascript), emerging support for WebKit (think Safari) as a mobile browser platform. What this does not address is phone specific implementation, thus access to mapping and GPS functions was in questions. When Google via Android made a commitment to open these functions, it was time to test a Drupal implementation inside this platforms SDK mobile emulation (thus FatAtlas.mobi).
Concept
Port a high end Drupal site onto Android Mobile platform such that it renders inside the the Android Emulator located inside Google's Android SDK. Use a single code base to serve both a full website as well as the mobile site.
THE BIG NEWS: It worked
