if both of your Indispensability and Originality fall in the 50th-75th
percentile, how come the winning golf app can be in top 25th?

sounds odd to me....

I would have thought mine would have been more Original given that it
is a first for Disc Golf. Maybe the judges didn't know what disc golf
was?
The winning golf app did have a different UI. Maybe that was the
Original part?
Oh well. Consumers will be the ones who really decide who the winner
and losers are. :)

I'm finally come to peace with the Challenge. For me, one thing has
not changed is that Android platform is undoubtfully groundbreaking
with great potentials, not only in the mobile computing but also for
desktop computing and connected appliances (Chumby and Bug Lags). The
"Network Computers" era might finally come.

I hope I come back when Android has a real market. Until then farewell
my friends.

Hello Stefan,

Congratulations that you got very good results.

Your aAOLT seems a server-based classified ad tool that depends on existing
eBay website.

My application is a peer-to-peer classified ad tool that is serverless and
not dependent on any 3rd party website.

My Originality is in the 25th to 50th percentile!

I wonder why a whole new and lightweighted approach to the same
functionality can lead to a lower appraisal on "Originality".

As for the same "Indispensability", I believe that a huge internet
population uses classified websites daily. That is why a $200M-revenue
Craigslist is apparised to be worth $70B.

I am not complaining but totally dazed.

I wonder that all the judges on my application were from eBay...

Best Regards,
Kyara

That meant you were very close to winning because you were in the same
quartile group as the winners. Members of a quartile group are
statistically tied and it is very probable that you have a score
similar to some of the winners.

submitted 3 applications so I will have to find out if the other ones

My readme was absolute crap compared to the app, and as stated everywhere, nobody really reviewed the application.  Only two people logged in, and neither finished the user setup.  The application itself is relatively polished.

So, anyway.  I agree with the polish score, considering the readme.  The originality I think is due to the lack of understanding of what the app actually does (and why its original), but whatever.  I'll take it.  Moving forward, although on a different platform for now.  Time permitting, I'll "polish" and resubmit for the next contest.

Scores are encouraging, though.  Glad they sent them out.
