These Google Android Developers Did Something – What About You?
September 5th, 2008 MobileFreak
In case you missed it, Google announced the final results of their first Android Developer Challenge last week. Out of 50 team finalists, ten teams won $275,000 each, and another ten won $100,000.
To get a glimpse of the types of apps we’ll be seeing on the Android phones later this year, go take a look at their gallery of finalists. And if you’ve been thinking about creating an app yourself, this will be sure to get your creative juices flowing. There’s a 95% chance you will only think about it and never carry it through, so be that other 5% this time and write one – even a simple one. The first one won’t be your best anyway, and you’ll be way ahead of the curve.
We will no doubt be covering these creative and exciting apps in more detail here on MobileMammoth, so stay tuned.
