"27 year old Frisian developer Eric Wijngaard won $275,000 in Google's Android Developer Challenge for his 'PicSay' application.
In an interview with a Dutch website he says he likes Google's SDK but 'What I really wanted to do was develop an iPhone app. The iPhone SDK wasn't out yet, though.'
Asked what he would do with the cash, his response was 'I guess I could invest it in my software company, but first I want to port PicSay to the iPhone.'"
