Regarding the ordinal Developer Challenge, it definitely isn’t canceled but we haven’t declared plans for it yet.  We said we would by terminal assemblage (sorry most that), but we’re ease employed on how to scheme it.  The concern is quite a taste assorted today than it was when we ran the prototypal ADC, so we poverty to attain trusty the newborn rules/structure attain sense, and we are of instruction attractive into kindness everyone’s experiences with the prototypal ADC.  The ordinal ADC module definitely not be a image of the prototypal ADC.

We wait to hit every this finalized and foretell rules within a pair months.  The circumstance itself module probable separate in the ordinal half of the year.

Better New than never. However, it’ll be engrossing to wager what info and rules become with ADC2. There were a clump of complaints in ADC1 concerning non-disclosure agreements for SDK and APIs that were exclusive free to a superior assemble of developers, daylong delays in act between Google and developers and more. It’ll be engrossing to wager how they structure ADC2 to be modify more flourishing than the first.

One assemble who module definitely intend is consumers and Android fans. We intend to wager existing and new inspired developers place a Brobdingnagian turn of try into the most original ambulatory apps on the planet. For me, ADC2 can’t become presently enough.
