The driving force behind Big in Japan is largely due to the success of ShopSavvy (our barcode scanning/price comparison application for Android).  In turn the success of ShopSavvy is due in large part to our relationship with Google.  We hope that we have played a small part in the success of Android – Google’s mobile phone operating system.  I was surprised, and humbled, when I noticed that Sergey Brin wrote about ShopSavvy in the latest Founders Letter published today.  Each year Larry and Sergey take turns writing an annual letter – this is the first time one of our projects has ever been mentioned!  Check out the full letter here.  I just wanted to take a minute to thank Larry, Sergey, Eric and Dan for supporting Android and our development efforts – we really appreciate everything you have done!  Keep up the great work.
