Forum Nokia in conjunction with Orange and the Symbian Developer Network today announced the first global contest for mobile application development for S60 on Symbian OS smartphones – “Open C Challenge“, to encourage open source and freeware developers to use Nokia’s Open C environment. The idea is to bring new, innovative mobile applications to Nokia’s market-leading S60 platform.
Developers can submit up to five applications in two categories: 1) Porting existing open source assets to Open C; and, 2) Native Symbian C++ development in Open C. During the contest which is already underway and ends at the Symbian Smartphone Show in London on October 16th and 17th, contestants will be able to access webinars, training sessions, and peer-to-peer discussion boards.
If you’re a developer we encourage you to sign up. After all, you can win cash prizes totaling more than $20,000, an exclusive invitation to distribute application via Orange, fast track premium membership in the Orange Partner programme, free Symbian Signing, free year’s membership in the Forum Nokia PRO developer program, and… of course, free exposure on IntoMobile.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
