Google offers $10M in code-writing prizes

Google Inc. said Monday it is offering $10 million in prizes to people who write new applications for its new open Android platform.

Mountain View-based Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) said cash prizes will range between $25,000 and $275,000.

"We've built some interesting applications for Android, but the best applications are not here yet and that's because they're going to be written by developers," Google co-founder Sergey Brin said in a statement. "We'd like to reward these developers and recognize them as much as possible."
