I've just discovered a page "Android Developer Challenge": http://code.google.com/android/adc/
Total prize budget: $2.275.000 (yes - USD)
They are going to award these Dollars to best developers.
I find this as very effective way to encourage software developers to compete by creating quality software. I know that OpenPandora creators and Google are a bit different "weight category" so to speak, but still - main idea of competition preferably with some prizes - I feel it could be good for this as well. Even without prizes it sounds better than no competition at all.
Maybe Pandora's release day would be good to announce this competition? "Get your Pandora, Develop a cool app and Prove you are da Best!"
What are your thoughts regarding this?
