Samsung is practically printing money right now, which is kind of funny when you stop and realize that no matter how many Benjamins they throw at their software developers, they still can’t make something that’s as smooth and polished as iOS. What does a company do in a situation like this? They outsource their labor by staging a publicity stunt known as a “contest”.

According to Android Police, Samsung is going to give out a total of $800,000 total 10 lucky developers who make apps that use the “Chord SDK“. If you’ve never heard of that SDK, don’t worry, because I haven’t either … until today that is.

Chord is basically Samsung’s proprietary way of letting devices discover each other and share data. Qualcomm practically invented this technology, and they call it AllJoyn. Samsung being Samsung, they wanted to make their own thing. An app that uses the Chord SDK will sadly only run on Samsung devices running Android 4.0 or higher. Granted, there are a ton of those out in the wild, but still, what about devices from other companies?

When will you get to find out who won the money? Just before the end of August. Here’s hoping we see something a bit more useful than a neat way to share contact information. Personally, I’d love it if all Samsung phones could tap to share WiFi credentials. Say my friend comes over. Instead of giving him my long and complicated WiFi password, we tap phones and we’re done.

Give me that. Now.
