I promised to update on my niche experiment Android Magazine as soon as Android would become available in the Netherlands. Well, yesterday they announced the Dutch launch date and prices of the G1 mobile telephone with Android in Hamburg. And I was invited. Another perk I got thanks to my niche experiment.

The trip
We (4 journalists, 2 T-Mobile employees and me) flew from Amsterdam (Schiphol) to Hamburg Monday morning. At the airport we were picked up with a van and we were brought to our 5 star hotel. We had lunch and at 3 o’ clock the big press conference would start. A few minutes before it all would start we got a press map. The press map had all the information we needed, like the date the G1 would be available in Holland and the price plans rendering the press conference useless. I didn’t really get that but I posted up the information as soon as I could on Android Magazine via Twitter. After the press conference we went to a casual get together in Raven. The next morning we flew back with a KLM city hopper.

My experiment
As for my website, visitors count has increased but earnings are still about the same. They are slowly rising which is a good sign but it has to increase a lot more to become a steady income.
