I forgot to make it clear; the 10K USD would not be necessarily for a new app. It would be simply the best 5 iPhone apps demo and the best 5 Android apps demo and then we have the audience (?) cast a vote on which is the coolest. Or we have judges whose weight carries 50% and the audience collectively carries the other 50%. Of course app debuts would be cool but that is not what I was thinking.
