No games in the winners seems odd, but then again, it was the third entry in the original googles suggestions !
The only really innovative application or solution in the first 50, seems to be "writtint pad". A real innovation on user interface interaction for small hand-held devices (shure hope they filed it for a pattent). But after seying their presentation video on You-tube I would like to give them a suggestion: - try to fade the touch drag trace line, based on the distance the drag distance you have already travelled. The further away from the current position the more transparent the line should be. I would also suggest a threshold of no more than 2 screen widths length, to make drag trace fully transparent. This will avoid the screen lines mess after writting any word that uses 2 or more letters near the edges, making the middle keys complettly unreadable ! Second suggestion, please support other "smarter" keyboard layouts, like "Dvorak" for example! You should probably also define a new layout specifically designed to increase the usefulness of your approach, which means, to statiscally reduce the ginger travel (this is what dvorak did for the english language, and 10 fingers ! Try to improve it, when using a single finger. Another, pseudo inovative solution is the AndroidScan. Although the Bar code scanning concept is not really new, chinese use them alot, the integration with the actual search engines for prices, samples etc... is interesting, since most users are too lazy to search stuff by themselfs. The rest of the apps, from what I can see, don't have any true innovation, although I haven't been able to see much videos or presentations of the entire bunch iet. P.S. Odd enough, It's easier to find information, screenshots, videos, entire websites, just from searching the web, then from Google Officially Released info ! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
