Incognito, I'm really sorry that I have to scatter your hopes for few submissions. Dan Morrill has the most accurate submission count tool, but he will not share his information. But luckily some information leaked :-)
Look at the page "The Android Developer Challenge Judging Process": http://code.google.com/android/adc_judging.html This page was added recently, and whoever wrote this knew the number of submissions up to that point and could estimate the expected total number of submissions. It states that phase I will select 100 submissions with the highest scores. This pre-selection would not make any sense if there were less than 100 submissions to be expected, and also would not be necessary if the number of submissions was only around 150. Note that phase I already follows a "threshold" phase where all submissions that do not run are dropped. The distinction between phase I and phase II (which is nowhere mentioned in the ADC terms and conditions) is a move that is only necessary if there are at least a few hundred applications expected that pass the initial threshold. It would be very interesting to know the true statistics once the competition is over :-) Peli On Apr 9, 8:34 am, Incognito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, I know that this is extremely unlikely.
