firstly i wanted to congratulate both the winners and non-winners. it's amazing how much people have done in such a short amount of time and the diversity of the projects is really something else.
i do think google should be applauded for taking such a chance as well. it's not every-day that a company chucks $10M in the direction of us developers - feels like most companies would rather forget us instead - even-though we all know that it's really us that make or break the platforms really... anyway - i do wonder how google could make ADC-II better.. perhaps the biggest thing for me is that loads of developers really did put in a lot of time and effort but didn't get much out of it so far. people really want some kind of recognition for their work - for their confidence/ego at least but also maybe to help them sell their products/businesses or even to help win future consultancy work or something. maybe google could change the prizes to increase the number of projects rewarded but with lower amounts as well - they still have $5M to play with i think.. they could give some kind of 'founding developer' status or even to send us one of those funky phones would be cool.. if we all had one of the phones - i'm sure we could all do so much more for google :-) i'm not sure how google can encourage people to compete against those that won in the first round as well. google should clearly encourage the winners - but it's hard for everyone else to stomache putting in a huge effort again just to lose again! comments anyone? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
