Google is gonna toss around $5 million in prizes. $25k each for the fifty developers with the coolest apps for the Android mobile phone patform(submission deadline 3-Mar). The best get one of ten available $100k prizes. The best of the best: one of ten $250k prizes. My understanding is that this last group also gets included in the standard distribution package when phones running the Android phones are actually shipping towards the end of next year (at which point, they'll have another contest, and throw-out another $5 million)
The first phones from the alliance will be out in the second half of next year from manufacturers who are members of the alliance: Samsung, LG, Motorola, and HTC. Eight different carriers from around the world plan to offer service based on the phones. Those include Sprint and T-Mobile U.S.A. in the United States, NTT DoCoMo and KDDI in Japan, T-Mobile International in ten European countries and the United Kingdom, China Mobile in China, Telefonica in Spain and Telecom Italia in Italy.
