I think it will be better if judges re-categorize the applications. Because, some application may score high merely because there were not enough submissions in that category. Is there any explanation for categories? Like what type of applications fall into Lifestyle category. Or some examples of Productivity/Tools applications. And of course there are applications which may fall into multiple categories.

derrek that is what i thought at first but it seems that the app could be released but it must be released after 1st of august so the slowing will only be in this month plus
1-theres like 30 apps in the palm and like only 200 thousand phone out there stop mentioning it
2-the iphone like any app with a meaning will come out

I am getting sick of these Pajama wearing, out of Control, tech freaks at Google. The ADC 2 is already 7 months late and is a joke IMO. Nobody has ever succeeded in producing a great platform by such stupid contests. All it will do is stop good Apps from getting into Android Market for next so many months.

While Apple and Palm Pre are cruising away with runaway success of their devices, Google is busy playing these games like ADC. Come on Google – no Games and Gimmicks! Please focus on Polishing Android (instead of that stupid Chrome OS) and getting better handsets out to compete with Apple and Palm. If not, Android will just be relegated to “Also Ran” category in history.

I’m disappointed that it will be for Cupcake users only. …then again, maybe I’m only disappointed that Australian G1 owners still haven’t got the Cupcake update.

“(2) Effective Use of the Android Platform–Does the application take advantage of Android’s unique and compelling features, such as built-in location-based services, accelerometer, and always-on networking?”

These features are available in all smart-phones, not unique to Android. But yes 1,3, and 4 are good criteria to judge.

At least we have longer time to finish the apps.
I am a bit disappointed by the criterias that users are supposed to rate by, some applications will not score high in any of them, but still be extremely useful for the user, I think there some overall useful-nes criteria is needed.
