Nokia has launched a competition for UK Mobile Apps developers, and is offering a decent wedge of cash to the winner – how does £20,000 sound to you?!
The competition is called “Calling All Innovators” and will have 5 categories:
- Social location
- Business and productivity
- Communications and social networking
- Games
- Just for fun
Apparently each of the category winners will get £2500, a one-year membership to Forum Nokia Launchpad (I really hope that’s not just a branded trampoline, sounds like it…), and distribution of their App on the Nokia Ovi store. However, one of those Apps will win overall, and it’s this one that will grab the £20K!
The deadline for entries is 30th November, and we’ll know who the winners are by the end of the years. If you want to know more, you should check out the official website here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
