The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, is developing Android: the first complete, open, and free mobile platform. To help developers get started developing new applications, we're offering an early look at the Android Software Development Kit.

Individual prices range from $25,000 (as recognition for the 50 "most promising entries", as Google's press release on the subject puts it) to $275,000. The first phase of the competition runs from January 2nd through March 3rd, 2008. The second phase will take place in the second half of 2008, Google says. Clearly, Google's money is intended to push the platform by creating buzz, but also by generating potentially useful applications that pull end users.
