I think it's also a bit unfair to think like that. It was pretty
obvious they won't allow existing apps into the contest as apps made
without a deadline would benefit from an unfair advantage (in
development time and popularity). Also, i guess the point of this
contest is to promote innovation
I believe from the very beginning it was stated publicly that it was
for apps that had not previously been published. I was fearing that
they would not allow the entered apps to be published until after
ADC2, so the fact that they are allowing them to be published even
before ADC2 begins is good
Vaz and I sent out a bit too many threads on this because what happened was
we sent out 1 and it didnt appear on the forum.. so we sent out a few more
thinking there was a problem with the submission. Anyway, all of them
arrived at the same time - so our apologies for that!
Secondly, thanks for

Timothy is quite correct.
In fact, the original rules said that you couldn't have published your app
publicly anywhere at all, but we loosened that rule in response to feedback
since it unintentionally excluded open source projects. We also were
originally going to require apps to wait until the

Pretty sure they're talking about anyone who published after Aug1, who would
need to rename the package for launch in ADC2.
The eligibility rules were posted on May 27th (when ADC2 was announced), so
unless you published your app before May 27th, not sure theres much
unfairness going on here...
Therefore, it seems to me that what Google are looking for is for
developers who HAVE developed already prior to Aug 1st, need to rename
their apps.
No, it's for developers who have published their app *after* August 1st.
It is EXTREMELY Cruel for a Google official NOT to answer this.
