YA @ Sadko Mobile

Uh-oh. My startup just hit its first major challenge. Google Android Challnege deadline was extended by 6 weeks to April 14 !

We’d like to let you know that we are extending the submission deadline for the first Android Developers Challenge to 14 April 2008. Based on the great feedback you’ve given us, we’ve made significant updates to the SDK that we’ll be releasing in several weeks. In order to give you extra time to take advantage of these forthcoming UI and API enhancements, we’ve decided to extend the submission deadline.

In other words, upgraded (with many needed features) SDK is weeks away at best. That means my business strategy must be modified and my product roadmap must be modified. Better and more complex products, different customer focus (maybe), different budget and benchmarks - start steering off to the new course.

Welcome to the real world, Mr. Ammosov.

PS. Other developers also face similar strategy challenges.
