The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, is developing Android: the first complete, open, and free mobile platform. To help developers get started developing new applications, we’re offering an early look at the Android Software Development Kit.


The first phase of Android Developer Challenge I is now complete. 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.

You can see a list of the 50 applications that emerged from the Round 1 of ADC I or view a slideshow of the applications. In both, the entries appear in alphabetical order, according to application title. Note that four of the 50 entries are not published, at the developers’ request.
