Buzz Deck Wins 1st Place in ADC2 Media Category

Yesterday, Google announced the winners for its second annual Android Developer Challange and Mippin's very own Buzz Deck took the 1st place spot in the Media category! And not only did we nab the top spot, but we will also be VERY happy to nab the $100,000 prize that goes along with it! (We are a start-up, after all...)

If you're not familiar, Buzz Deck (www.mippin.com/buzzdeck) provides a simple, elegant and fast way to get all your favourite web content in one place, perfectly optimised for mobile use. You can flick between topics, from Gossip to Gadgets to Green, and we even learn what you like and recommend stuff we think you'll enjoy. Oh, and you can check up on your Facebook or Twitter updates (among many others) at the same time. Brilliant, we know.

The Android Developer Challenge recognises developers writing the best applications for the Android development platform, and the level of competition this year was unbelievable. We're chuffed to be honoured with all of the other great apps and their developers. We want to wish a special congratulations to the other two winners in our category, SPB TV and FxCamera, and also to all of the other winners across the board. Well done!

After a heavy night of ADC2-related texting, emailing, tweeting, Facebook-updating and so forth, we thought we deserved a little break this morning. So we had ourselves a little celebration, complete with champagne and Krispy Kremes! We really know how to party here at Mippin. But now it's back to work...these apps don't just make themselves!
