After the launch of the 10 million dollar pot for the Google Android challenge which introduced Google’s open mobile platform, the top 50 Android software list is now out.

The 50 teams of developers each received a $25,000 award and the opportunity to compete in the second and final round of ADC I, for ten $275,000 prizes and ten $100,000 prizes. Over the next several months, the developer teams can take the opportunity to further refine their applications in preparation for the final judging.

Android Developer Challenge part I is already closed for participation. Android Developer Challenge II will be launched after the first handsets built on the platform become available in the second half of 2008.
