WaveSecure Among Winners in Android Developer Challenge 2
Some better news to spice up your day with. WaveSecure, by Singapore startup tenCube, recently won 3rd prize at the Android Developer Challenge 2 (ADC2). Kudos to Darius and his team!
The ADC2 had been running since September this year and was made available to apps that had not been made publicly available through the Android Market prior to August 1, 2009. TenCube launched their app sometime in late September and we reported how they decided to go ahead with the Android platform instead of the iPhone platform. Looks like in hindsight, it was a good choice made by them. Not only is this good for Darius and his team, but also great for the startup eco-system in Asia.
We are starting to see a lot healthier Android development and Android events going on, which is definitely a boost to the Android developers and the Android market in general. For example, coming up on December 7th, we have the Developer Meetup which is co-organized by AdMob Singapore and the CodeAndroid Group, focused on the theme of monetizing your apps. Furthermore, Christine Songco from Google, who will be overseeing developer relations in Southeast Asia, expressed interesting in growing developer outreach initiatives around the region, which could only mean one thing; more support for startups and a more thriving developer ecosystem in the region.
