You guys definitely have interesting apps and comments. One disadvantage is lots of great ideas (including yours) have been exposed in this competition. Once corporations pick up your ideas and have a team work on them. Pretty soon you'll see more polished commercial versions of them. If you think the ideas are unqiue, either patent them or just remove all the info about them before you have real products. I looked around this competition and did see some great ones that did not win. Only show people who are potentially your customer under NDA.

Exactly what I was saying ... judges are 1 person over millions. When i say should you continue I'm talking about taking your idea to the next level. This level can be taking it to another platform or going further in the dev. For our team the ADC was just a good opportunity to start coding ! Most of us can't deny that without ADC our ideas would be today and forever inside our heads.

Maybe I expressed myself wrongly (as you can see I am not a native speaker)

I would like to share with other competitors about ideas and concepts. What could improve you app not just for android but to any platform!

When I say the future, it is not ADC 2 :)

Back to the topic

GodsMoon I think your app is aiming even less people than Slash Wars. For me the only way is to find a partner. Someone who is already in the golf business and will see an opportunity in your app.

ConAim I started to play poker not a long time ago on facebook. I believe poker+social network is really cool. Same as for Gold Fish View maybe you could find a very good opportunity by teaming with someone on the poker world. Some online casino could buy your app for is customers our maybe even the guys from the poker facebook app...

As you can see it's just 1 more opinion over 3 000 000 + possible users ;)

The way i see it, don't drop it but rather target other, available platforms, like iPhone or Windows Mobile. When the first Android cell phones come out you'll allready know if your idea is appealing to the general public instead of some judge who didn't even look at your application. If Android turns out to be a success you can always go back to your old codebase and deliver a working app much faster than anyone else, if not at least you won't have wasted your time chasing a ghost. That's what I'm gonna do.

Hello !

I think a lot of us (the loosers) are thinking about dropping everything (loose of time and money) or that ADC was only the start of something.

I propose to share point of views in the same discussion.

a simple rule : if you ask for a comment on your app please comment on the one above you at least ( you can comment on much more apps if you want ! )

Well i'll start by commenting on the looser i really wasn't expecting : DUO

I think you guys shouldn't drop it : an emulator is not the same deal as a real phone and it's us, futur users, who will decide who really is a winner!

My app :www.slashwars.com A game wich stong point are the design and the fun of looking totaly stupid in the street !

I don't thinking about dropping it : ADC 1 was just the start. We are preparing a little cartoon to make the promotion of the app and we have a lot of ideas for the game futur!

As one of my team members said : it's not because the midwife doesn't say my baby is beautiful that I will stop loving him !

What do you think about it ? should we drop or not ? would like to have a game like this one on your phone ?
