What's more, Google pays for it. Decent - up to $1.5 million. Good news for those who want to make money. All you need is a head on your shoulders and a bit of luck.

Mentioned amount - the maximum reward. It relies on the bugs found in the preliminary version of Android. Unfortunately, the list of gadgets is limited.
