Ovi suite for Linux

maybe an app called "angry customers" that sends cruise missiles to nokia headquarters..the interface would be similar to angry birds..

LMAO!

like it...

A working sms pc editor/backup! I'm tired of waiting for Ovi...

Would it be possible to keep at least a couple of thread on topic?

Groups in contacts!

ok, so it's a crazy stretch, but I submitted Witter anyway, I figured that it didn't take much effort to enter it, so worth a shot ;-)

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

How about a global search app, that can search contacts, applications, media etc..? Like in Android right from the desktop.

I have seen this in my friends Nokia E90 Communicator as well, where he searches for apps just by typing the name.

Just a suggestion.

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

I would gladly pay for an app to do that!

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

hope there will be good apps :D

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

I've suggested and wanted this so many times. Even better, make a plugin system for it so you can send tweets and facebook updates from it. Kinda like Quicksilver for MAC or Gnome Do for Linux.

And now this event is over and we know the winners in all categories, but nothing about that special prizes.:( Even about the winners we don't know much: application, authors and country. That's all... No videos, no screenshots, no platform, even nothing about what that apps do. Very strange competition...
Does anybody know which apps have won special prizes for the best N900 app and the best cross-platform Qt app?

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

I think a Google-Streetview-like application called City scape won the first place, and we saw a demo for it on N900 inside Nokia World.

So it should be released sometime (if ever) :)

Looks again like marketing gone bad. It´s somehow impressive how they mange to pull off this stuff repeatably. Do they have any management in marketing?

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

I forgot about that $50,000 pricetag on the contest. Why, for not far from the same price, they could have hired Texrat for a year, I imagine!

backupmenu makes a flashable image of your rootfs and optfs.so everything except the emmc is back'd up

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

Total prize money is $500K (although I could only count $375K).

So this was announced on 6-1 with a headline of ten days to go and the name of Quim Gil was invoked.

Now, after the contest is over the jury is deciding on categories??

Let's do that with the Oscars -- have the nominations first and decide the categories later!

It sounds pretty messed up to me.

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

There were "best XXX" apps for platforms other than Maemo, IIRC.

No links to apps. You're on your own there.:)

Even the contests are held *** backwards...

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

Ouch, that's a low blow.

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

Looks like they have updated it (21.09)

http://www.callingallinnovators.com/

• Best application for the Nokia N900 (prize will be split between two developers): Stellarium Mobile by Fabien Chéreau (Germany) and FrontView900 by ABen Lau (Hong Kong)
• Best cross-platform application using Qt: Morpho QuickPanorama by Morpho, Inc. (Japan/United States)
• Best utility: WakeUp by Roland Michelberger (Hungary)

---

From where I can find last one?

.edit
And where are the two last ones?

• Best mobile computing application: $50,000 (USD) in cash, plus the winner of this special prize will be included in a multi-million dollar global marketing campaign that will be used to help promote the winning app.
• Best locally relevant application with global potential: $15,000 (USD) in cash.

.edit
Wrong stellarium link fixed

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

It's really strange, because by the rules of the contest every finalist must be in the Ovi store and WakeUp is a finalist in the Productivity category.
Also by the rules cross-platform app must have a desktop version. I was unable to find QuickPanorama for any desktop platform.

I'm not a troll, I just want to learn something new from the winners, but I can't find them.:(

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

Note that "Stellarium" != "Stellarium Mobile" (so the link is not right). The latter one should be more snappy.

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go
 

Oh, yes. And it's another strange thing here: by the rules it must be a stable release, not beta (or I've misunderstood the rules?). Anyway I'd state that CAI'2010 was a very interesting experience for me, but it's in the past. Maybe CAI'2011 will be better.
