The creators of ShopSavvy, Big in Japan, will be holding an AndroidDevCamp in Dallas Texas on Saturday October 25th plus providing free pizza.
The stated purpose is to have Dallas be the most represented city in the 2nd Android Developer Challenge.
Dallas had two winners of the first Android Developer Challenge with Rylan Barnes creating GoCart, now ShopSavvy, and Jason Hudgins who developed TuneWiki – Both of whom will be at the event.
75 people are invited to the Big in Japan office at 1950 Stemmons Freeway Suite 2022 in Dallas with the following schedule:

This is a smart marketing move from Big in Japan to expose their brand especially after forgetting to provide the latest version of ShopSavvy to the Android Market.
ShopSavvy was thus removed from the Android Market, as it was whittled down to the only 13 applications meeting the deadline specifications, but Big in Japan co-founder Alexander Muse belatedly provided the updated version today to be made available.
*** As corrected by Alexander, there was a lack of clarity from Google on their internal application swapping process in the Android Market as other applications were affected as well ***
Google And Blog is cited & referenced as a top Android site in:
I am confused. We didn’t ‘forget’ anything. We were given a deadline to submit the application (i.e. ‘get it in by this date for inclusion in the market for launch on the 22nd’). Our application was submitted a day early. We (along with ALL early developers) were unaware they would remove our old application prior to receiving the new one. T-Mobile didn’t know about this wrinkle either. Anyone who submitted applications to the Alpha Market were affected.
This is not a ‘Big in Japan’ effort, but instead a SpringStage community building effort just as Pitch Camp was last week.
Feel free to apply to get a press credential for the event, we are running short so you should contact me asap if you would like to attend.
Alexander Muses last blog post..Ready for AndroidDevCamp?
Just to clarify, TuneWiki was developed by a team of talented individuals (Zach Hobbs, Chad Kouse, etc). I was a member of that team, but not the sole developer by a longshot.

@ Alexander,
I would LOVE to go if I was in the Dallas area as the camp setup looks very well organized and informative.
Please let me know if this ever branches out to the San Diego area.
I will be at the PubCon convention in Vegas on Nov 10th through the 15th if by chance you will be there.
