五月google公布了第一轮android开发挑战项目获奖名单，100000$的丰厚奖励得主；今天google公布了第二轮的入围名单，其中10人获得275000$,还有10人获得100000$的丰厚回报。
自从上次看到网上关于Android的华丽UI视频之 后我被Android深深吸引住了。不过不知道这些华丽的UI是不是一牺牲性能为代价（就像HTC diamond实际操作没演示的华丽视频那么流畅），不过不管怎么样我对Google对Htc还是有信心的。相比之下，那个Meizu M8难产至今，让人心痛啊！我想如果像google那样先弄个软件开发悬赏赛可以先做个铺垫也不错啊…这次挑战赛中推出了很多有趣的新的软件应用，无疑给Android注入了新鲜血液，其中有好多开发项目的界面做的都很不错，好多都是互联网方面的应用，相信Android会给用户带来全新的体验。随着HTC第一款Android机器dream推出的临近，真的让人对android这个神秘的机器人充满了热切的盼望！
