Thanks for the information. We are wondering if there will be support beyond the contest level.
For example, there will be many manufacturers (we hope) of phones that run Android. Will there be discounted developer prices/ short- term subscriptions? Will there be central testing facilities that provide access to all available phones? While the emulators are very important, it is necessary to build and execute on the real hardware. Is Google (or an Alliance member) interested in providing VC funding (similar to the Apple iFund for iPhone apps)? While the Google contest is a great start, some ventures will require more.
