I just saw the winner slides.

A week ago I was kind of angry the judges didn't even have the decency of making it look as if they actually were judging something. Now I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I'm not saying my application is better than the top 50, but let's be honest, there are A LOT of awesome apps among the losers who published theirs, and I don't even wanna try and think about the rest. Some of the winners have GUIs that make my eyes bleed. On the other hand, look at Five - http://code.google.com/p/android-five/ - that is a winning app for me and, trust me, a lot of other people.

Not only does Five look useful, but it is open-source and we can help improve it (He also made the wise choice of using Maven Masa plugins). These are the types of projects we should be behind. It doesn't matter if Android is the most open platform in the world, if all the applications on top are closed, proprietary applications, then the platform might as well be closed as well.

How can you take a platform seriosly when its flag ship products consist of weather and cooking programs? It's sad, really.

I spend +1000 hours on developing. Graphics, design, programming, testing, testing, testing... Finished my app. It works fast, gives great user experience, no lags, no delays, intuitive and simple navigation.

AnCal - Android Calendarhttp://vetch.magot.pl/ancal/

Of course, my application is for sure, as "original" as others, but not polished nor indispensable as others. Who the hell needs PIM ? But cooking or learning playing guitar is of course on every mobile phone in the world.

But, even if it is a piece of shit, I'd like to know my judgement score. Do you hear me, Dan ?

I have now working 1.x version, its READY TO SELL. But where are the users ? I'm angry.

There is also another: <AnPlay> - audio player in a way, finished in about 70% (just want reserve name for future :) But I'm not working on it at this time. Maybe never. I'm not sure if I want to participate and waste my precious time in Another Damn Cheat, so:

anybody knows a way to sell the finished project ?

Please, help.

greets, peter
