BONDI Widget Competition
If you are interested in widgets and have any expertise in using HTML and JavaScript, you may be
interested in a competition being run by OMTP in the run up to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
You can find out details on the competition here.
The competition is open up until the week before the MWC event and finishes on the 8th February 2010.
The first prize of $5000 should provide some motivation to creating some interesting widgets, but
you may more interested in the promotion of the winning widgets at the event itself. OMTP will be
using the winning widgets as examples to demonstrate to key people at the event, which should raise
your profile as a developer to those who really matter in the industry. Winning widgets will also
be promoted on the OMTP and BONDI websites after the event finishes. Other prizes of various mobile
phones are also available.
BONDI APIs can give access from the widget to data such as geolocation or to handset features
like screen size and mobile operator. It also give the ability to take pictures and to send text
messages. Full details can be found on the BONDI site at http://bondi.omtp.org.
Creating a BONDI widget couldn't be simpler. Using just a notepad and image editor and the
example widgets provided by BONDI, you can very easily create your own widget.
Good luck!
