For everyone how has posted a complaint in this forum just one word, "thanks". You have all pointed out issues that concern all of us and I am sure Google has heard you. I can only assume the next competition will take the lessons learned and be even better.
I think the judging process was the most important issue of the contest and I have to say it was absolutely great. Do you guys realize that just about every member of Open Handset Alliance contributed judges to the contest? It means that the members of OHA are committing resources to the success of Android and to you and me. This contest is not the beginning and the end. It is simply the beginning. With beta software, no hardware just look at the diversity of people who want to be involved. I have been writing J2ME applications for almost eight years now and this is the first time I have seen OEM's, carriers, hardware and software makers this involved. But the best part is that they are all looking at what you and I are doing. When was the last time you had one of these companies look at your software? If you do not win is that the end? I would think not. A lot of the winning submissions are by small teams and individuals (like me). In order to win the next phase they will need to bulk up with more developers. So even as Phase I of the contest comes to a close there will be opportunities to be involved in the next phase. Win or lose I still had a great idea and plan to follow it through. If I win I need to recruit a little help. If I lose well, I have another great idea for the next competition so I will have two entries in that one.
