The Android Developer Challenge


Prior to the official release of Android, Google held the Android developers challenge, a contest for developing cool apps that surprise and delight mobile users. Prize money - $10 mil.
There is gonna be another one when the first handsets built on the platform become available.
Anyways the first one is over and with excellent results (the apps). The 50 teams that qualified for the second and final round of the ADC each received a $25,000 award. The second round had ten $275,000 prizes ten $100,000 prizes. The applications of the winners have set me drooling for the first handset with the platform (HTC Dream) which will be released tomorrow i.e 23 September.
