Google has wrapped up judging his first Android Developer Challenge, and twenty shops dev (or in some cases, individual developers) are considerably richer as a result. Of the fifty applications to make it through the final stage, ten were awarded $ 275000 each, and ten others have done with a crisp hundred Grand - good money for some really good ideas.

As you can wait all supported by Google and the platform Android, a good number of finalists made location-based services integral theme, take big winner premises, for example, that automatically changes the settings of device based on your current position (if this is not a "why not think that?" type of product, we do not know what is). The more you crawl, the more I realize that the list of winners reads like a who's-that the catalogue of applications we know that we installed on our dreams out of the door - and more importantly, it appears that Google has a great way here to encourage best-of-breed Android long-term development.
