The results of the Android Network Awards, an initiative created by owners and managers of Android-focussed websites to recognise and honour the best Android applications available, have been announced. There were 43,000 votes cast in total and the majority were from ordinary Android users, rather than the developer community who may have had a slightly different angle on some entries;-) Android Academy is proud to be a part of the ANA and sends a hearty congratulations to the winners, and sincerely thanks all those who took part.
