Yesterday brought the second release of the historic Apple iPhone. Steve Jobs dropped the highly-anticipated iPhone 3G bomb at WWDC 2008 in San Francisco to the joy of Apple fans worldwide. But after watching Jobs’ keynote, several features seem to hint toward an early release to combat the buzz surrounding Android.
Here’s the first part of a new multi-part series we’ll be doing on applications that didn’t quite make the final list, but sure deserved it. The first application is handyCalc, and you can check out a couple features in the video below as well as the interview with the developer after the break
We forgot one little tidbit about the Developer Challenge update the other day: Each recipient gets $25k to finance the further production of their application(s). Not a small chunk of change for most of these guys who are typically one or two individuals collaborating on a single project.
Google has released a list of finalists and a detailed PDF containing all 46 of the recipients who consented to share their information with the public. One great apps listed include “AndroidScan”, which allows you to scan the barcode on many different products and find price comparison data in real time. Check the link for more, and get excited to seem some great new applications for Android. The judge names and companies which they represent were released also, check the link after the jump to see both the PDF and judges.
