Contest of useful ideas
A small start to a big competition.
As I already told , Intel launched a new interesting project called Intel AppUp , which is an app store for mobile devices based on the Intel Atom. The benefits are full - developers can sell their applications or components, and ordinary users can make purchases or choose free alternatives. And given that the mobile device market continues to grow, the need for such resources is increasing. We can make a useful contribution to its development.
And for this we start the contest with the simplest task. You need to come up with an idea for a mobile device such as a netbook or MID-based Intel Atom. Maybe they have come up with something brilliant long ago, but you can't do it or not? Or a long time ago there was simply not enough of a program, but which can you describe? Well, why not try it! Everything is interesting - from widgets, casual games or clipboard managers, to clients to social networks or something incredible. Players of online music, add-ons to popular services, futuristic functionality for faceless webcams, unusual launchers and virtual table systems, some new solutions for maintaining a to-do list or notes, secret developments that make life easier for students - anything but BUT always carries practical benefit for all mankind :)

Announcing this competition, we fully count on the adequacy of the visitors present on the site who understand that it is pointless to offer programs in the style of Adobe Photoshop, and games, for example, require considerable computing resources (for all netbooks and MIDs use integrated video solutions, and not discrete). In general, understanding the difference between a netbook and a laptop is indispensable!
As for the rest, the main condition is that the idea is practical and, first of all, for mobile devices. A tail wind in the sails of the idea will be its extraordinary nature, interestingness, maximum disclosure and elaboration - only with this attitude will it be possible to take the podium.
Acceptance of works will end on March 31, so there is time to "think". From April 1 to April 11, an impartial jury of Intel will take stock, and already on April 12 a list of the three lucky ones will be known. Why, you ask, lucky ones? Because they will get a wonderful prize in the face of the SSD * X25 series, which I wrote about recently.
* UPD * By popular request, the competition was extended until April 15.
Once again I will clarify - so far the competition is only for an idea, but, as we know, there is no smoke without fire. Very soon another contest will begin, more extensive - there will have to be in the shoes of a developer. Prizes will be just awesome, but we will want a different return;)
For the first step to victory, leave your ideas right in the comments. However, please note that participation in the competition is entirely voluntary, which means that Intel is not responsible for the right of ownership. In any case, do not forget to read the information on this page.
* Exact disc volumes will become known later.
Good luck !
