And yeah, we should stop knocking specific winners. That's a little old. For the record, I was pretty surprised by a number of entries, as well. I was hoping that more critical apps would be in the list.

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