In order to promote its newly unveiled kick-ass smartphone and get some content for its widget platform, Nokia is running the Nokia N97 Widget Competition. According to the official blog post, this is a chance for everyone to be part the Nokia Nseries innovation process by designing a homescreen widget for the forthcoming Nokia N97.
All the tools needed for widget creation are available and if you win the contest, your widget will go into production. In addition, you’ll also receive Nokia N97 ahead of the public release, pre-installed with your homescreen widget.
Want to give it a try? Here’s a link from where you can get additional information as well as download the design package mentioned above.

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.
