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.
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?

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. Itīs somehow impressive how they mange to pull off this stuff repeatably. Do they have any management in marketing?

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!

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

I have prompted them for a date, hopefully soon.

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.

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