Steven, no need to be so antagonistic. The NDAs are between Google & its employees.
I am not worried about losing my idea. I am not 100% focused on getting a prototype done. I want to find a real partner to work with on my current concept or any others.

Wasn't trying to be antagonistic. Was addressing something that comes up very often. You can't blame me for thinking so at the sight of stating NDA. That said, NDA between companies and employees are more in reference to what the company does. I can't imagine it would restrict you from leaving to pursue your own idea with a fellow employee. But then again, I don't work for Google so I don't know what they would require you to sign.
As for possibly getting a prototype done, I don't understand the comment here. If you outsource the work, you pay X and they code Y and you guys do the exchange. There's no inheriting or whatever you're referring to. Sounds more like you're trying to recruit employees or something than to purely just get the prototype finished.
