Device Seeding Program for Top ADC2 Developers

This is interesting. I just got an email that I’ll be receiving a free Droid or Nexus One as part of the Device Seeding program for a Top 200 entry in ADC2.

So Google gave out phones at the Android Developer Labs, a boatload more phones for the top developers in the market based on downloads/rating, and now more for ADC2 participants.

I know a lot of developers that weren’t happy because they missed out on the free phones for Market Developers, but they may still get a chance as it looks like the Seeding program isn’t done.

Congratulations! You are one of the top 200 developers in round 1 of the Android Developer Challenge 2. To celebrate your success and encourage you to create more awesome Android apps, we would like to present you with a brand new Android device as part of our developer device seeding program.  

You will receive either a Verizon Droid by Motorola or a Nexus One. Developers with mailing addresses in the US will receive either a Droid or Nexus One, based on random distribution. Developers from Canada, EU, and the EEA states (Norway, Lichtenstein), Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore will receive a Nexus One. Developers with mailing addresses in countries not listed above will not receive a phone since these phones are not certified to be used in other countries.   

Please do not request specific phones; allocation will be by random distribution and we will be unable to accommodate individual requests. Please allow 2-4 weeks from today for delivery of the phone. If you have any questions or if you have a change of address, please send an email immediately to android-market-seeding@google.com.  

We hope that you will enjoy your new device and continue to build more insanely popular apps for Android!   

Thanks, Android Developer Programs
