We all remember Jeffrey Sharkey, the developer who won a ton of $$ from Google for his CompareEverywhere software. Guess who decided to put Mr. Sharkey on the payroll. Before he starts at his new job at Google, he has been coding overtime to finish up on OilCan. OilCan is essentially “Greasemonkey on Steroids” for the Android platform. Oilcan is used to customize any website.
Oilcan can make JavaScript call to scan a barcode, or launch into Maps or other Android Apps. Greasemonkey scripts can customize websites to the users’ personal tastes that can help when dealing with small mobile screens by shredding excess columns and margins. There are currently thousands for GreaseMonkey scripts available today. If you would like to educate yourself there is an OilCan site with more information. Download OilCan here by following this link from your G1 browser.
