    DOA. I mean seriously... Microsoft is still struggling to gain double figs for WP and you think this OS which is just a skinned android 2.3 is going to gain traction...
    Still i wont say no to 4 million! :)

    Samsung has got there mitts in this? Interesting. Ah yes, this makes sense now. I saw some precursors at E3. Big push for HTML5 tools and apps.

    I'd have to say this seems like a lost cause coming in this late to the market. I get that they are trying to drive folks with incentive, so if studios and indies want to take time out of there normal routine, why not? The Tinzen SDK is Mac compatible!

    Honestly I'd gamble with Ouya over this (even without incentive as well as having iffy survivability). Ouya's got far, far less tape to get through. Have you seen all the terms and conditions? Yikes!

    @lebiscuit I was just reading about that. There are even more good reasons to explore this platform.

    Just be aware that it's not a 4 million dollar prize. The 4 million is the total prize money that will be awarded via different catagories. Even so, the smaller award allotments are quite generous!
