Bluetooth SIG Application Developers’ Contest

by

An interesting competition just announced for developers… The Bluetooth Application Developers’ Contest. The contest will promote open source collaboration that will allow users to develop new and improved uses for mobile phones and PCs with the help of Bluetooth wireless technology.
The Bluetooth SIG hopes to encourage dedicated and well-versed developers to discover original and innovate applications of Bluetooth technology in devices that the majority of the public use everyday – mobile phones and PCs. Contest finalists will be selected by a panel of industry experts who will judge the applications based on creativity, overall functionality, and user appeal. A total prize package of more than $23,000 will be divided amongst the top finalists. Additional prize support will be provided by Frontline Test Equipment – a year lease to its FTS4BT protocol analyzer. See more details in this PR or jump directly to www.bluetooth.com

Fancy buying a Nokia N900 for $1?? Watch the Flashing Eggs

by

This via our mates at the Nokia WOMWorld team… an opportunity for North American fans to get a sweet deal on a Nokia smartphone. Perhaps you’ve noticed the little eggs flying around on the new banners here on the blog (they can also be seen on our LBSzone.com and SymbianOne.com websites).  Here’s how it works… The egg will flash regularly over the next month – and the first (North American) person to click on it will get the chance to take advantage of the offer. More on this over on the womworldnokia blog… and be sure to keep an eye open for the flashing eggs.. Good Luck!
