Right but unless I missread the first round of apps is chosen only by the popular vote. That is actually quite good. Whatever the judges choose on second round it will still be very close to the popular vote.

"Google judges" could be 2 guys in each category..

Given how bad sales have been in general why would they also decrease the prize money? Somewhat of a let down. On another note, the fact that users will choose the top apps means that the wining apps will reflect what the overall market thinks.. This is definitely better than than ADC1.

Does it mean there will be ADC 3? Also, note that by the new rules all open source projects are excluded ("An application that has already been made available to the public (at the time of judging) is ineligible") Peli www.openintents.org On 27 Mai, 21:34, Al Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: Also interesting is that you can only submit unpublished apss and you can not publish them before judging. I can see a number of people focusing on ADC development and the stream of apps entering the market suddenly dropping :(.
