Hi, The Android applications like GTalk use the standard gmail accounts, users can use their already established gmail accounts. As some of the android applications require a gmail account, there will be an option on the phones to register for gmail accounts, that is the model used with applications like Gtalk. On the other hand, what Dan said was in a different context. The question he replied to was whether the judges will execute the contestant's server application, client application and his android application. Users/Judges are not expected to run your desktop applications or run applications from your site, etc. and then execute your Android application.
