Samsung Innovation Quest or Samsung IQ 2009 is now open. If you are a developer this is a good challenge for you to win more than $25,000 cash prizes. And for this year 2009, the competition’s theme is “It’s all about widgets” and the device that will be used is the Samsung i8910 HD using Samsung Mobile Widget technology. All you need to do is to create Samsung Mobile Widget and submit it before Friday August 14th 2009 when the competition closes.
Samsung Mobile Widgets are WebKit based and follow the W3C draft standard for widget packaging. They can be docked in the Touch Wiz UI widget tray for easy home screen launch. The Touch Wiz UI is the one that’s used on Samsung Jet S8000. Samsung Mobile Widgets relay on standard web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript and XML, utilizing the browser backend, but without the confines of a browser window.
To join the competition you must be a member of Samsung Mobile Innovator and you can join for free. In addition, with the spirit of openness, the terms and conditions of the competition are non-exclusive and all intellectual property remains with you.
