Hello all, First thing: congratulations at all for your submission(s)! I think that more one of you developed your application the night, the day, the weekend...everywhere, everytime ! Second thing: I understand if google doesn't diffuse all submitted application. For me, it's really important to do a potential business later (wait & see results) Third thing: I don't know how you can say "this app will win!". We don't know the submission, the category where the app is submitted...
Last thing: I saw a lot of application concerning Social network, games and GPS. My app is not concerned by this technologies, but the concept working around can be a real business project (I'm working on it :) :)). So, perhaps Google judges will see the interest of my application. Each person has his luck... So good luck at all :) Arnaud On 15 avr, 12:47, Alex Pisarev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My 2 cents. > > PlusMinus, Peli and Zhobbs are great community commiters, however, > that won't be taken into consideration during judging. > > Everything below is listed to what I would say if I were a judge. > > As for their apps, I know nothing about what Zhobbs has submitted, but > OpenIntents is actually a developer library rather than an application > itself, hence, the juddges will probably judge their sample apps and I > doubt that those will get high scores with regards to idea originality > and indespensibility - there are a lot far more original and > indespensible apps at the challenge. > As for PlusMinus's AndNav - it's cool and polished, quite > indespensible, however, the originality of idea and the use of Android > features marks will most probably be quite low here as actually not > much used. > > Good examples of the apps that will get the high scores in all 4 > categories are location-based games like PK and Wi-Fi Army (PK will > have a little lower score in the usage of Android platform, though), > also map-based application called Marvin and Enkin.
