We submitted an app called PlinkArt - it's a visual search engine that allows you to identify any famous artwork by just taking a photo of it. It also has some neat features for browsing through the history of art, sharing your favourites and ordering prints of paintings you like. (I already splashed out on a nice print I came across while browsing. Might become an occupational hazard)
We coded the entire app from start to finish in three weeks (not including our visual search engine, which took years). Two developers and one part-time UI designer. We haven't released on the Market yet, will wait for some ADC feedback and fix the inevitable few bugs that come with such a compressed dev schedule. Website is www.plinkart.com , still pretty basic, will update with some screenshots and a demo tomorrow. But now, some seriously needed sleep. We were still adding features three hours before the deadline. Re:Android feedback, on the whole it's pretty nice to work with. The dev tools are excellent, but there are some real gaps in the documentation. The development schedule was very short, but in some ways that's not so bad - it pushed us to develop this app much faster than we would have done otherwise.
