I thought we were supposed to predict app winners. I think for non-
app, your list is pretty accurate.

[Muthu Ramadoss]

I'm sure there's a lot more exciting apps and exciting people. Bring it
on, folks!

Could google please NOT publish the list of submissions, unless with consent
of submitters?

It will be very appreciated by many, I think.

To protect privacy and potential business plans, we do not plan to publish the full list of submissions.  In the terms and conditions, we reserve the right to publish information about applications that are awarded a prize, but we won't be publishing any information about the applications that don't receive one of the awards.

That sounds sweet and comforting..... :-)

I would add these two in the gaming genre. I believe that to win in
the Android gaming space, you'll need to do something more unique than
simply porting a game that could run on any other platform
(Asterdoids, PacMan, ...). These guys merge gaming with location-
based information. Anyway...these two have my vote.

Parallel Kingdom

WiFi Army
- They have a great video showing potential but a camera-based
multi-person shooter won't make it far. I tried to talk further with
these guys but nobody answered their web email. They definitely have
potential but need to show a more developed web app (like Parallel
Kingdom)

Dan,

At any point will we be able to see a count of how many submissions
were received? I remember you told me you couldn't discuss it before,
but what about after the end of the submission phase? I'm quite
curious to see how popular the challenge was.

Well, in accordance with pirate law, every pirate votes himself for

Hi Cow Bay,

I doubt that the 3D engine will consume too much energy. Check out
another set of 3D games ported to Android here: www.omnigsoft.com/Android/ADC/readme.html

For an even more compelling view of the power of 3D mobile games,
check out this video about the iPhone SDK. Yeah...I know we're not
supposed to mention that other OS...but to beat your competitors, it's
best to know what they're up to.

Apple has enabled some pretty cool iPhone-apps based on their
acceleration engine as evidenced by the iPhone games that EA, Sega, &
even Apple showcase in this video.

[tomgibara]

Now that the first round is coming to a close I just wanted to say:

Good luck in the judging everyone!

Still, a man has to have preferences, here are my favourite 5 (most
preferred first) that I hope do well:

1) handyCalc - I love the look of this, I wish I could get my hands on
an apk, I hope it's as slick as it looks, if so I'd run it on my
desktop using the emulator all day...

2) OpenIntents by Peli et.al. - Even though I don't have the same
burning desire to run the applications, no other entry comes closer to
the spirit of collaborative applications than the effort to establish
a shared set of Intents, and the code to support them. I've been
slightly disappointed that the competition has thus far encouraged
people to horde their work and this entry really deserves some credit
from the judges for pointing in the opposite direction.

3) Android Scan - jsharkey, I promise I'm not a barcode junky, but
this application just seems so useful, it's also a great example of
the clever re-use of available libraries and services.

4) Dkn Touch - wonderoid, Not especially novel, but the algorithm
looks tight and the execution (the video demoing it with cards that
you can flip and slide) makes exquisite use of Android's view
animation capabilities. It got into 4th place because, of all the
applications I've seen, it's the one you really wish was built into
the standard Android classes.

5) Slide - hielko & writser, (Very hard to stick to just 5) I'm a
reserved Englishman and don't even have a facebook account, but this
application looked like it had depth and features that could be useful
in lots of ways. I think the choice of using facebook groups for
matching people is brilliant, I don't know if that's their original
idea, but they seem like great criteria.

I think Pocket Journey (biosopher) gets an honourable mention for
having the best video.

Finally, I was surprised that there weren't more media players on
display - is that because the developers feel the need to keep their
slick interfaces secret?

Oh and a special good luck wish goes to anyone still coding!

Tom.

>>Finally, I was surprised that there weren't more media players on

Not necessarily. Is probably because we were too busy coding. At least
that was my case.

Very cool that you put our application in the top 5, we hope more
people share your opinion :D. That said, it's called Snap!, not Slide
(httt://www.snap-project.net/)

[writser]

Enkin is very, very impressive and a clear winner imho.
PocketJourney is a very interesting concept, but I think their main
problem is getting enough content.
I hope that Snap! (our entry) is also one of the best 50 submissions.

[tomgibara]

Sorry about that, just tiredness. Of course I meant Snap! (ironically
I thought it was a good name too). Slide was hovering somewhere
outside of the top 5 which is why it slipped in mistakenly.

Tom.

[Alex Pisarev]

My 2 cents.

PlusMinus, Peli and Zhobbs are great community commiters, however,
that won't be taken into consideration during judging.

Everything below is listed to what I would say if I were a judge.

As for their apps, I know nothing about what Zhobbs has submitted, but
OpenIntents is actually a developer library rather than an application
itself, hence, the juddges will probably judge their sample apps and I
doubt that those will get high scores with regards to idea originality
and indespensibility - there are a lot far more original and
indespensible apps at the challenge.
As for PlusMinus's AndNav - it's cool and polished, quite
indespensible, however, the originality of idea and the use of Android
features marks will most probably be quite low here as actually not
much used.

Good examples of the apps that will get the high scores in all 4
categories are location-based games like PK and Wi-Fi Army (PK will
have a little lower score in the usage of Android platform, though),
also map-based application called Marvin and Enkin. I would even say
that Marvin will score more than Enkin as it's more functional and
inspensible.

As for Pocket Journey- I don't see anything cool in here, the idea is
quite old (check Wikimapia, for example), polishing and usability are
definetely not at the top, usage of Android is limited to map services/
multimedia only and it's dispensability is really under question (I
would imagine that only some pensioner tourists as well as some
"walking encyclopedias" will be interested). However, they might be
able to get a grant from their local municipality or something for
that sort of thing, as it actually promotes tourism :)


Intentionally not talking about our app, hope to receive some judging
on it after we release our first teaser.

[arnouf]

Hello all,

First thing: congratulations at all for your submission(s)! I think
that more one of you developed your application the night, the day,
the weekend...everywhere, everytime !
Second thing: I understand if google doesn't diffuse all submitted
application. For me, it's really important to do a potential business
later (wait & see results)
Third thing: I don't know how you can say "this app will win!". We
don't know the submission, the category where the app is submitted...

Last thing: I saw a lot of application concerning Social network,
games and GPS. My app is not concerned by this technologies, but the
concept working around can be a real business project (I'm working on
it :) :)). So, perhaps Google judges will see the interest of my
application.

Each person has his luck...

So good luck at all :)

Arnaud

[Cow Bay]

judging apps based on "whole new" idea seems controversy, because seems like
android encourages "re-invention" of existing idea, too.

am i wrong?

Extra kudos to PlusMinus, Peli and Zhobbs. Google should have given
at least 10% of the application ranking based on the submitter's
contribution to the community. After all, it's the community approach
to it's business that has made Google what it is.
