$25,000 and Some Lines of Code
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "DEVELOPER" @ 10:01 AM
Microsoft invites Pocket PC and Smartphone application developers to participate in a contest where $25,000 and application distribution is at stake. Developers can sign up to participate in four different areas:
• Pocket PC Work
• Pocket PC Play
• Smartphone Work
• Smartphone Play
I think the areas are quite self explanatory. It's easy to enter. Just submit the applications to a "Mobile2Market logo-testing partner between January 1 and June 30, 2004. The first 150 to submit by May 30, 2004, receive free logo testing! All applications submitted to test by June 30, 2004, and then subsequently published in the Mobile2Market Mobile Application Catalog are eligible to win. Applications will be judged on the following criteria: Optimization for the device category, Usability, Originality and Marketability."
Restrictions apply. One of these restrictions makes it impossible for myself to participate. See official rules for details. That said, I wonder if we could help out in terms of providing developers with great ideas within each category?
