I hope there are more games - as a user, I base my mobile phone purchases on games (seriously) as it is more convenient than having to carry around an additional Nintendo DS or PSP. The lack of games is why I never bothered to pick up an iPhone upon its release.
I also do hope Omnisoft's 3D games are one of the four that were not publicly announced ( http://www.omnigsoft.com/Android/ADC/readme.html ). I see 0 entries that use the Accelerometer in the winners (one of Androids selling points), and I fail to see how Omnisoft could have received less than a perfect score for "polish and appeal" from the screenshots on their site. At least it is now quite obvious why my submission lost - along with being an amateur work, even the most professional game submissions were ignored. It is also interesting to note that about 44 of the 46 submissions appear to use a client / server model for the application, indicating that all Android users will have unlimited data plans? Not complaining at the end here - I'm thankful to Google for the contest, and it is something extra that they offered. :) Just wanted to make that clear - thank you Google for it. Just observations and I do intend to do a non-game submission that forces internet access for ADC II then as that appears to be what they want for the phone.
