Thanks to all of you who attended Droidcon in London this week!!! If you liked Droidcon this year,  you can now book your dicounted ticket in London next year!!

Many thanks from the Android team of Accenture Mobility Services for the very warm welcome we've received from the Android community here at Droidcon. We've spoken to a lot of very interesting and talented people, sat through some excellent presentations, drunk a lot of coffee and hopefully demonstrated to you our own enthusiasm for all things Android. Help yourself to water bottles!

The Testdroid test solution for Android applications is an end to end application testing environment. The recorded test can be run on multiple devices with all the results stored in the cloud. This data can then be reviewed within minutes, and test results are displayed graphically for added clarity. There is a full log of all events, exceptions etc, for you to peruse at your leisure and even a very cool visual inspection tool which allows you to compare devices side by side and take and download screenshots.

The IVI solution that's currently being showcased on Accenture's stand has been developed with the user in mind, to provide an intuitive, feature rich in-car screen environment that serves both driver and passengers. Features such as hands free connectivity via bluetooth for every mobile device in the car and a fully customised homescreen that puts key functionality at the driver's fingertips. By implementing a more flexible audio output configuration, the solution also offers the user the ability to configure the system to their particular needs.

Fellow Platinum Sponsors Cisco have their ultra-portable, mobile collaboration Enterprise tablet the Cius on show here at Droidcon. This compact, 7 inch device has the option of an HD media station for wired connectivity together with the convenience of being able to pluck it up and carry on over wifi without missing a beat. There's support for desktop virtualisation and an integrated suite of collaboritive apps, as well as access to the Cisco appHQ marketplace. But look at me prattling on, head over to the Cisco stand and check it out for yourself.

Attendees at today's HTCdev Opensense SDK workshop will have an opportunity to win the new Jetstream tablet. Whoever demostrates the best use of the Pen api over the next two days will stand the chance of walking away with one of these exclusive devices. Come to the workshop and stop by the booth to learn more.

Head for the Sony Ericsson stand and try out your skills for a chance to win your very own Xperia Play. SE is very keen to attract Android gaming developers keen to optimise their latest zombie slaughterfest for the Xperia Play game pad. Send your game info to sonyericsson.com/standout
