Had to delete my original post because it had a URL in it: Here is
the text again:

During the past few weeks, 100+ judges around the world reviewed over
1,700 applications. They were extremely impressed with the diversity
and the large number of high quality entries submitted. We're pleased
to inform you that your entry is among the top 50 submissions and that
you will be awarded $25,000 USD. Your application has demonstrated
originality, indispensability, intuitiveness, and good use of the
Android platform - which are all attributes that our judges looked for
while evaluating submissions to the challenge.

We'd like to bring a few items to your attention:
1. Due to the high quality of the submissions, many of the judges who
are also members of the Open Handset Alliance have shown interest in
contacting some of the participants regarding their applications to
explore further opportunities.

2. We would also like to publish a list of the Semifinalists and their
entries this coming Monday, 5/12. In particular, this would include
your name, a screenshot, and a short description about your
application. The description we'll be including regarding your
application is attached to this email.

To protect your privacy, we will not publish or share your information
without your prior consent. If you are interested in having your
information published and/or being contacted by a judge for potential
further opportunities, please use the following form to give us your
consent:

www.xxxx.x.x.xx.

You may also submit changes to the description of your entry at the
above location. The requirements for the description are: Description
(20 words max); Bullets (3 bullets, 46 words max); Tag line (10 words
max). You may change the screenshots later.

We need all responses to the above form submitted no later than 9a PDT
Monday, May 12.

3. If you happen to be in San Francisco, CA on May 28-29, we hope that
you'll join us at Google I/O, Google's largest developer event, where
we will be holding many technical sessions on Android and other
relevant technologies. We're providing you with a complimentary pass
hoping that you'll attend as our guest. Many Android team members will
be present and are looking forward to meeting you.
If you're interested in attending Google I/O please fill in the
appropriate information in the above form and we'll get you your
complimentary event pass.
We will be contacting you next week regarding the payment process and
next steps involving the final round of the challenge.

Congratulations and thank you again for participating in the
challenge!

Android Developer Challenge Team

Also - thanks again Google for the contest!

Congratulations to all the winners.

FYI loser email looks like this:

Dear participant,

During the past few weeks, 100+ judges around the world reviewed over
1,700 applications. They were extremely impressed with the diversity
and the large number of high quality entries submitted. It is clear
that the number of great applications far exceeds the 50 top scoring
applications that will move on to the final round of the Android
Developer Challenge.

We regret to inform you that your entry was not among the top 50
submissions. However, we'd like to bring a couple of interesting
opportunities to your attention:

1. Due to the high quality of the submissions many of the judges who
are also members of the Open Handset Alliance have showed interest in
contacting some of the participants regarding their applications to
explore further opportunities.

2. In the near future, we'll be creating an Android Developer
Challenge Gallery where you can showcase your application. We'll be
providing more details shortly on how you can participate in this
gallery.

If you're interested in either one of these opportunities, please fill
out the following form:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/google.com/viewform?key=id

As we've announced earlier, we'll be running a second Android
Developer Challenge later this year. This will give you another
opportunity to showcase your application and compete for top prizes.
We'll be announcing the details of the second Android Developer
Challenge in the near future.

If you happen to be in San Francisco, CA on May 28-29, we hope that
you'll join us at Google I/O, Google's largest developer event, where
we will be holding many technical sessions on Android and other
relevant technologies. The team will be present there and is looking
forward to meeting you.

Thank you again for participating in the challenge.

I got 1 loser email for my multiple entries. I take it you got 1

number of entries.

Is it possible to provide to each participant it's own scoring, in the
4 parameters ?
And eventually the position that scoring provided ?

In other words, what should we improve on our apps ?
This feedback is valuable, at least to me.

On a personal basis, this would be interesting to know !

And for when a new SDK ?

Thanks for any Feedback in advance...
