Scan is now CompareEverywhere

Sunday August 10, 2008 at 7:28 AM

Over the last two months I’ve been rewriting Android Scan for the second phase of the Android Developer Challenge.  Just a quick heads up that Scan is now called CompareEverywhere for the second round.  CompareEverywhere is an Android app that helps you shop smarter using your phone.

Last Tuesday morning (August 5), I submitted my app for second round judging along with the 49 other teams.  It’s been a blast, and I can’t wait to share the app with everyone.

Scott at AndroidGuys put it best when he said “It’s a little ironic that the closer we get to milestones and the official launch, the quieter things are getting.”  I have the feeling that most teams were hesitant to speak out during the second round because of the NDA we signed with Google, and that only added to the silence.

That said, there’s a huge amount of excitement among the 50 teams.  Most of it is being directed towards final application polish and preparing our apps for public launch, but I’m sure you’ll see screenshots from various apps popping up.

Finally, to keep myself from going crazy while waiting for the juding process, I’m writing up some sweet tutorials which I’ll post when the new public SDK comes out. Stay tuned!
