Nokia kicks off Mobile Rules! 2008 competition
Symbian is the world’s leading smartphone operating system and unlike the Apple iPhone manufacturers like Nokia actively support 3rd party application development. To emphasize and honor those developers who are out there working to design applications to make our live more efficient, fun, and rewarding Nokia is launching the second annual business plan and application competition, Mobile Rules!. As stated by a Nokia spokesperson, Mobile Rules! is a way to encourage and promote innovation in mobile services. There are two tracks in the competition, one for qualified developers working on applications for Nokia platform devices in the categories of multiplayer and connected games, multimedia, enterprise, and infotainment. The second track is for entrepeneurs, small businesses, and more who demonstrate outstanding business plans in the mobile space. Prizes include Nokia devices, memberships of Forum Nokia Launchpad, promotion of the winning application/plan through channels owned by Nokia or other competition sponsors and expert advice from Nokia specialists. The five overall winners will also be offered the chance to develop a contract with one of the competition sponsors or a significant cash prize if no contract is awarded. Check out all the rules and details of this contest. The development competition starts now with the business plan track starting in a couple months and the entire competition ends in Spring of 2008. Thanks to Michael for the press release.
