Google will pay 10 million developers of programs for Android

Yesterday, Google representatives made an interesting statement saying that the company had formed a prize fund for software developers for its latest offspring - a new operating system for mobile phones called “Android.”
The amount of the prize fund is $ 10.000.000

The awards will be distributed both among the developers of the new software for “Android” and among those who will make the existing code (recall that the new platform from Google is open source) more advanced and functional.

The prize pool will be distributed as follows:
Amounts of $ 25,000 will go to 50 developers.
Another 10 lucky winners will receive prizes of $ 100,000.
And finally, the top ten "best of the best" will break off at $ 250,000 from this boiler.

PS
Against the background of Apple's constant struggle with programmers-enthusiasts who are trying to modify the iPhone's program code, Google’s move looks quite reasonable and the Internet giant will probably achieve its goal - Android will quickly receive a lot of different software and attention among the masses.
