Some very, very nice apps in this thread! (And good to see we weren't the only ones with sleepless nights...)
Our app is called Inserty and is basiaclly an advanced text template tool, which lets you create templates that contain dynamic text - like your current street address or a link to google maps showing your current location. The text can be copied to the clipboard or inserted into a new email, sms, twitter message etc. Screenshots can be found at http://roomfour0four.com and you can find the app in the android market by searching for "Inserty". We (Max and I, we met at university) started out tinkering with android because we thought the API is designed really well, and the toolchain is a pleasure to work with (both of us coming from an embedded-c background). A random idea quickly turned into a concept, and after 2 weeks of coding we managed to meet the ADC2 deadline, just in time. Our main difficulties encountered were making the app robust and efficient, as not all finesses of the API were known to us, or documented extensively. This resulted in a lot of tinkering and "field- testing" (especially for the location services) to get the app performing well, even in unpredictable situations. Personally, I think the ADC is great for the incentive it gives developers, and the publicity it creates for cool apps that only few users would notice otherwise. Also, the community it created for developers like us was great fun.
