YA, I understand your comment to Wesley's email because it was also my initial reaction. However, please remember that not all of us are native English speakers. What is messy and unprofessional to you may not be so obvious to a non native English speaker.

Wesley:

I noticed an extraordinary amount of typos in your request: "coz" (because), "pf" (of), "I mistype" (I mistyped), along with almost every second sentence being incomplete (ending with an ellipsis). Are you certain that your edited submission will be any better than unedited if your normal writing style is so off-standard?

Mr/Ms,

Thanks for replying my post...

My request is simple... As long as, there were a page... for me to check/edit/update "My" submission profile/information.

if google hope to keep d participants' privacy ... is fine for me... I not really interest on others participants title/apk... I only concern on "My" submission...

coz I did submit a apk... and I mistype some information... just hoping tat I can re-submit and update my profile information... no use for me to know what others participants title...

coz if got same title of submission apk... pf course... google sure will choose d best one rite? I means every competition does did it on this way...

just wan to make clarification here... the reason I post for this comment is because...

I hope that there were a page... for me to check/edit/update "My" submission profile/information.

with this feature... directly I know my submission is successful and allow "Me" to update/modify what even on "My own" profile and apk...

Truly, Wesley Sagittarius.

Hello, everyone!

Unfortunately the Challenge submission system doesn't have a way to externally track your submissions. It submits into the same system that Google uses to track all the help desk tickets for our products such as AdWords, so it's quite reliable. However, I'm sorry to say that system does not have a public interface.

There is a confirmation page when you submit, though. If you got that page, your app was successfully submitted. Errors in submissions redirect to a different page.

To answer some other questions I saw in this thread:

- To protect participants' privacy (including potential business plans), we will publicly announce only winners. - For teams and companies that submit, we will do all communications through the captain who entered the submission, except for identity and eligibility verification. - As to whether teams will be notified of their specific scores -- that's a great question. I'm not sure what the answer is, and I will try to find out.

Hope that helps,

- Dan

Maybe some of us could pitch in to help Google write a new submission page.

As for what Vetch said about the trust thing. One thing I have working for me is that all my submissions will require user accounts to test anything. If I see no user accounts created, I'll know right away that the contest is bogus.

And for those of you who get no recognition from this challenge and who see copies of your applications emerge later on, I'd say write in to news agencies and blogs explaining it. If enough people were to do that, it would be a "hot story" and really bad for Google. Hopefully Google realizes this could happen. But, if another company is already working on a similar idea, that's an unfortunate loophole.

Guys, it's up to us to make this submission page.

I found out this as really good one:http://openandroids.com

If you want some feedback you probably post your app. If you're making a top secret of your app go better keep it for youself.

p.s. Personally I think google is running out of time considering the quality of SDK. It's very far from product quality. So it's kind of expected they have no resources to support submissions much. And I am afraid they will run out of resources to check all application submitted for the challenge.
