Javqui, very interesting your video, this kind of adventure always encouraging.
Shane, you have to win the heart of regular developers in this community, serve them. I can see helloandroid has more apps listed and rated than SlideMe even though the latter has more appealing UI to offer. I saw a previous post you were not willing to test other developer's apps in a mutual way, maybe that is one of problems you have. Good luck.
