About the AFRICA ANDROID CHALLENGE
The Africa Android Challenge is all about the software development lifecycle. We'll go from concept to launch on each of the projects. The idea is to come up with a concept and develop it to completion.
We will share everything we learn. It's a great opportunity to learn about Android development and software development in general. You'll also build community by participating.
This group has discussions in the Discussion Forum, an RSS feed (the "Reading List"), a place to post comments and you'll see individual pages here, too.

Thanks to Google for providing Android phones and assistance with this contest.
