Android Developer Challenge Round 2

Google has decided that the first Android Developer Challenge (ADC) isn’t enough so now they have announced the second Android Developer Challenge! The announcement comes with the recent release of Android 1.5, as well as the availability of devices. News around the Net indicate that there will be as many as 20 Android devices in the market before the end of 2009

The expanded ADC 2 is to involve a very important part of the Android community—the users who will be running these applications. Users of Android-powered devices with Android Market will be able to download a special Android judging application and use it to download and rank applications submitted to the Challenge. The results from this round will determine the top ranking applications in each of the 10 categories. These top applications will then be ranked by a combination of users and a panel of Google selected judges through a similar process as the first round to determine the final winners.
