To coincide with today's launch of the Android SDK, Google has announced a $10 million contest to spur interest in development on the Android platform. The newly announced Android Developer Challenge will feature monetary prizes ranging from $25,000 to $275,000, to be doled out to those developers whose applications are picked by a panel of judges. The best apps will become features on Android-based phones that will ship later this year.

    • How can apple endorse their own competitor? Much less an free open source software (FOSS) platform? Their company policy and culture just doesn't jive like that.

    • I think this is going to be good for consumers because the more open source code we get the better off we are down the road. Short term = advertising on your phone.
