lilly, I agree with you. Some people just only know how to write program but doesn't know how to act like a grow-up people.
peter and couple of real losers out there, Your AndCal appllication is good and polished. You whine so much about Mrs. Cookie so I have questions for you. 1. What are the originality in your application??? Every PDA phone out there having more than one and many has a lot of features than your. 2. What's a specificic android features that you used in your application? Every PDA phone out there already have PIM application that already do a lot more than yours. You beg so much about the 4 criterias. IMHO Mrs.Cookis may lose a bit to your apps in #4 criteria but it equals to you in #3 and win your hand down in #1 and #2. Please use some logic (if you have some) not your blindlessly biassed opinions. BTW You really took 1000 hours to develop this apps!!!!!????? My not winning PIM application currently has about 75% of your functionality, mine also have custom date/time input and have a few more Android specific features that you don't have. It took me less than 200 hours. I'm an only an average programmer in my company so I think that if you really took 1000 hours to develope JUST ANOTHER CALENDAR APPS then it's your problem.... BTW2 even if Mrs.Cookie and Mr.Weathers did not win and the judge fully strict to the 4 criterias, IMHO you stills have no chance of winning anyway because you will get nearly zero score in #1 and #2. Goodluck with your whining and mud slinging.
