Thanks, but I have just seen this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/08/android-developer-challenge-2-open-for.html
He clearly States "As a final note, if you've uploaded a version of your app to Android Market, you'll need to use a different Android package name for the version you submit to the Challenge." Therefore, it seems to me that what Google are looking for is for developers who HAVE developed already prior to Aug 1st, need to rename their apps. That would make sense. It is EXTREMELY Cruel for a Google official NOT to answer this. Especially at this time. Its also quite unfair that this clause of eligibility was not made public sooner - before everyone started developing apps and publishing them before Aug 1st. Please can someone official from Google just give me a SIMPLE "Yes - change the name of your app" or "No - you've lost your chance. Thanks for using Android".
