Hi all,
WaveSecure for Android is available from Android Market. As a giveback to Android users who supported and made our ADC win possible, we are offering an unlimited free lifetime account for Android users.

Just head over to Android Market and download before 31st Jan 2010. You will be able to enjoy a free WaveSecure service for as long as you use that Android device.

It’s our way of saying thank you. Do spread the word to other Android users so they can benefit from it too!

Also, if you can join us on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/wavesecure, it would be awesome!

Thanks,
cheewee
Team WaveSecure

Sounds like a random number generator picked some of the winners. I was astounded by Tracklet, one of the best looking UIs out there and it was a good use of the technology with attention to detail (it worked in landscape!). Screebl also was a useful tool that I thought could be a winner. Eclosion did a lot too. I’m glad Speed Forge 3D won. GangWars was also interesting.

I wonder if Tasker will be released with that same icon. And if they do, will the ADC2 price money cover the court costs if the owner of the icon decides to act upon this blatant theft.

Not sure what scares me the most, if the ADC2 judges has never seen an iPhone, or if they simply do not care about copyright.

SweetDreams is crap. There is no innovation there. ADc2 judging was a joke!

SpecTrek is great, but it wouldn’t work for me until I took it to the cemetery. Apparently needs real ghosts in the vicinity.

Wonder why Wavesecure got number three,
numerous apps already out there with most of the features

Companies like dashworks (for best buy) do it for free

And they were out before competition started… like a few, its a rebadged/enhanced version of pre AD2 product…

Only thing in there that I find super exciting is Wave Secure which is an amazing app.

Seems strange that so many of these aren’t available. They’re missing lots of sales / downloads today.

re: games
I think the ADC’s reflect the makeup of the android base at the time.
ADC1: G1 early adopters
ADC2: the t-mobile mytouch crowd. Droid came in too late to make a real difference. It’s not just about making sure it works right on droid…droid users just won’t go for the same kind of games.
ADC3 should be more about Droid and totally kickass.

Someone asked about Tasker: tasker.dinglisch.net.

It’s not available yet. The reason is, likely in common with many ADC2 apps, that there was only 3 months to develop the first version
and so work on the second (polished) version is still ongoing.

As a dev, my take-home from this competition is: simple and polished is the motto.

I liked Trippo a lot, very clear russian pronunciation, probably also other languages, but ok it’s not in the list

What the doodle is actually a super fun game. I played it all through beta and loved. I’ll definitely buy it now.
