Android Developer Challenge

Google has launched the Android Developer Challenge, which will provide $10 million in awards for great mobile apps built on the Android platform.

The award money will be distributed equally between two Android Developer Challenges:

  • Android Developer Challenge I: They will accept submissions from January 2 through March 3, 2008
  • Android Developer Challenge II: This part will launch after the first handsets built on the platform become available in the second half of 2008

In the Android Developer Challenge I, the 50 most promising entries received by March 3 will each receive a $25,000 award to fund further development. Those selected will then be eligible for even greater recognition via ten $275,000 awards and ten $100,000 awards.

Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. This early look at the Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.
