Do you develop mobile apps for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian or webOS? Well, we want to hear from you! We’ve partnered up with “Under The Radar” to find cool mobile apps that will blow our minds. We’re asking any and all mobile app developers to submit their app for the “FAST PITCH” mobile app talent search, where your app will vie for a chance to be showcased in front of an audience of global dealmakers and start-ups. Even if we don’t pick your app for the talent search, you’ll get some serious recognition for your app (and possibly prizes, like handsets).
Interested? Here’s what you need to know:
- You must be able to attend Under the Radar (in Mountain View on Nov 19)
- If you’re selected as a finalist, you’ll get a free conference pass
- Your app has to be live and available for download
- We welcome any and all apps for iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian, etc
- Your app must be unique and new – no tip calculators or sudoku apps, please
- You must be able to pitch your app in 2 min (and 4 slides) on stage
We’re going to make it simple for you to submit your app for consideration in the “Under The Radar” FAST PITCH mobile app talent search. Interested mobile devs need only leave a comment or tweet @IntoMobile with a quick one-liner pitch for your mobile app – Twitter is limited to 140 characters, so choose accordingly. Please make sure to include a link to your app’s download page (or homepage) and your Twitter handle with your submission.
Your app will be judged for its “uniqueness” and the all important “awesomeness” metric. We’ll be accepting mobile app submissions through Friday, Nov. 6 Monday, Nov. 9 (deadline extended). The 6 lucky finalists will be contacted directly through email and/or Twitter.
ClimateMinder is a wireless climate monitoring and control system for agriculture. It utilizes machine-to-machine (M2M) mobile network technology to transmit actionable data from the field directly to growers’ mobile phones, computers and control systems.
The mobile technology enables farmers to receive alerts to conditions that may threaten crops and to take timely action – even when locatedat great distances from fields and greenhouses.
The mobile technology enables farmers to receive alerts to conditions that may threaten crops and to take timely action – even when located at great distances from fields and greenhouses.
ClimateMinder puts growers in control of the environmental and climate variables that impact the ultimate success of production. By monitoring and controlling to measured conditions in the facility, ClimateMinder can increase productivity and product quality, optimize growth patterns, shorten time-to-market, save water and reduce cost for nutrients and pest control.
At the heart of system is ClimateMinder’s patent-pending, GrowFlex™ technology which consists of two pieces (1) a self-organizing, battery or solar powered, sensor network in the field and (2) a wireless data connection to cellular data network – the same one available on your mobile phone. GrowFlex™ provides growers maximum deployment flexibility. Unlike other systems that require major field infrastructure, ClimateMinder, does not require a PC in field facilities and does not require deployment of wires between sensor nodes and controller nodes, isolating potential damage from electromagnetic disturbances. A suite of environment sensors are available and have been certified for ClimateMinder.
ClimateMinder is developed with mobile access in mind. Data collected in the greenhouse or farm is transferred through the GSM network to a reliable and highly available central server. Growers can use GrowMobile™ on a supported mobile phone or a web browser to set up data collection, query measurements, set alert and control conditions; and/or send control commands to turn climate systems on or off. Username and password authenticated web site and GrowMobile™ cell phone application give the mobility and remote access capability that growers want.

Please publish a list of the apps and links after all submissions are in. Thanks
