Our entry is Name: What Zip? Category: Productivity/Tools By: John Coryat, USNaviguide LLC
Description: This application carefully fixes your location to determine your USPS Zip Code (US Only). Displays the results as a shaded outline of the Zip Code along with your location and closest street on a map. Website: http://www.usnaviguide.com/zip.htm The app is a companion to this website. We have about 250,000 monthly visitors to the site that are mostly business professionals interested in territory management, real estate and other things. The app is on the market and has had about 1200 downloads, pretty amazing considering the small number of Android devices. ADC2 impressions: I received one of the Google ION phones at Google IO back in May. I had been working on iPhone apps but switched to Android to develop an entry for the contest. It took me from May 27th to August 5th to get this one ready and I had about 3 solid weeks of testing the app before submitting it. The members of this forum and especially Mark Murphy helped immensely. I believe the contest was designed with developers like me in mind. I hadn't considered working with Android before and when Google handed me one of those beautiful ION's, I couldn't help but dive into the system. I have no illusions that this app will do anything but entertain a few judges, it's not earth shattering or polished like the winners in ADC1, but for those that want to know what zip code they're in, our app is the absolute best tool ever created. The only alternative would be to knock on someone's door and ask them what their zip code is. I've done this to test the app and have had some very odd responses, mostly they won't answer! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
