Mobilize your content and win!
During the Developer Day at Mobile 2.0 Europe Conference on June 18, Forum Nokia will challenge mobile Flash and Web developers to submit their best Web Runtime (WRT) widgets, Flash applications or mobilized websites for an on-the-spot competition. Developer Day Participants can present their work in any of the following areas:
- Mobilize your web service or application
- Highlight intelligent device detection and categorization
- Create a customized experience for different device groups
- Deliver ingenious website usability on mobile devices
- Super-powered mobile mashups with WRT for S60 devices
- Bundle your favorite web APIs with S60 Platform Services
- N97 live widgets in the home screen
- Submit ideas that make the most of device features and technology, such as location-based services, internal accelerometer, or personal information management (i.e., phonebook or calendar) – See programmableweb.com/nokia for references.
- Enhanced User Experience with content delivery through Flash
- Show the “wow” factor Flash can bring to your application or web service mobile
- Easy data and media pull from the web, content streaming
Developers that are planning to present WRT widgets at the competition can take advantage of the free Nokia WRT Plug-In for Aptana Studio, and use standard web technologies (such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) to easily create, edit, test, and deploy WRT widgets for Nokia S60 devices.
Developers building their app or UI in FlashLite can have access to code samples, design and UX tips, UI libraries and free packaging tools, turning the Flash file into an installable application to both Series 40 and S60. All resources above are available from Forum Nokia.
Participants will be able to do last-minute debugging and testing on-site with Forum Nokia technical experts – Petro Soininen (Web & Widgets) and Riku Salminen (Flash) – during their respective breakout sessions in the Developer Day, which will cover the topics above. The three best entries will win a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone.
If the winner selected represents a company, and/or has a product to market, ho or she will have the opportunity to join the Forum Nokia Launchpad program, designed to accelerate mobile application development and elevate developer’s business visibility in the mobile world.
Entries received in this challenge can also be submitted to Nokia’s Calling All Innovators contest, which is seeking FlashLite applications, mobile-optimized websites and WRT widgets that transform web and mobile services into real applications for Nokia devices. Contest prizes include both cash and immediate business opportunities with Nokia. Entries for Calling All Innovators will be accepted until midnight (EST) on 30 June 2009.
