Thanks for the interest though. I can't believe they released this in Java? And why no netbeans plugin? I prefer netbeans dammit. They could have done the API in C and let everybody create interfaces in whatever language. I guess mobiles usually run jars though and they wanted to make sure people couldn't run unsigned code. Does anybody know if the jars will have to be signed? Does anybody know if Android will have /usr/bin/php or perl or python? It looks like developing video games for cell phones right now. That's the closest I can describe it. Um, I was talking about eclipse and the plugin and the software emulator?

So leave the price money to the little app developers like us, it probably too little for your beerco and cheap smart programmers. @Chris, we really do not care about your top secret search engine that you always touted about that seemingly exist only in vapor mode + selling your top notch 65K a year programmer.

That being said, I would love to make our search engine compatible with Android. Just not to submit the code to Google. It's like what, do I send the 16Terabytes of indexes on 380 blu-rays? Are they going to rebuild the distributed computing platform to make it work? So I don't think their contest is applicable for large scale projects. Some lucky person is going to win a lot for a little. I don’t think these contests work really well. That being said, I would love to make our search engine compatible with Android.
