Remember the Nokia N97 widget competition, which the Finnish giant launched in December of last year? The winner has been announced during the recently ended Nokia Developer Summit in Monaco. It’s called Rocket and it’s a social location (SoLo) widget developed by David Emmanuel Castro Guerrero from Mexico.
As an award, Guerrero went home with the brand new Nokia N97 pre-loaded with his own widget on the home screen. Also as part of the deal, Rocket will have prime status on the homepage of the upcoming Ovi Store, ensuring tons of people will be able to grab his creation.
As for the runners up, there are Marco Lobb from Italy, who designed the widget, Shoppy, a shopping list application and built on-site by Inova IT from Slovenia and Bruce Hopkins, who designed Travel Planner and built by PavingWays from Germany. These widgets will also be featured on the homepage of store.ovi.mobi.

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.
