Samsung, Handmark

Samsung and Handmark are teaming up to launch a new Global Venture Fund to invest in companies and/or individuals with “innovative, market-changing game ideas” for Samsung mobile phones.

The two companies are searching for games that best showcase Samsung mobile phones and the “advanced features they offer.” Both current and new content ideas are encouraged, taking timing and cost into consideration.

Companies and/or individuals selected will receive up to $250,000 each to fund the development of winning ideas. In addition, Handmark will provide assistance with development, testing and certification, as well as distribution of the application through the Samsung Application Store.

If you’re interested, you can get more information from a dedicated website. The deadline for entries is November 20, 2009 at 5 PM CT.

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.
