I think for this first part of the competition, they should judge solely on functionality. The SDK will constantly be changing and a poor looking app that functions well can always be tweaked to look better later.

Then for the second half, the part when phones have been publicly released, then they should take appearance into account since we'll have been able to test on actual devices.

imho

This is a funny argument: If a designer wanted to participate in the challenge (which is open to everyone - afaik), could he then say:

"I don't think functionality matters much - we are not programmers, we are designers." ;-)
