Deal on a million
Intel announces the start of an unprecedented action for application developers - 1,000,000 (one million!) Dollars will be distributed to the best of the best already this year.
The number of reviews and just talking about netbooks even continues to grow on Habré - I think this is evidence that netbooks have become one of the most popular consumer devices on the modern market. However, their potential is often limited by applications that are usually not optimized for the weak points of such devices - usually the screen size and the architecture itself. To solve these problems, Intel has created a million dollars fund.
We are talking about creating applications for devices based on Intel Atom processors - the program " Developing applications for Intel Atom » (Intel Atom Developer) involves creating applications for mobile devices (netbooks, nettops, smartphones and other small equipment) based on Windows, Moblin and gradually replacing it MeeGo.

To take part in the competition for the best application for Intel Atom, you need to become a member of the Intel Atom Developer program — one of the habrauers has already spoken in detail about it. This will not only give the right to participate in the competition, but also allow you to sell your applications or their components to Intel AppUp - I think many people are already familiar with a similar way to monetize their work on the example of similar projects.
In order to register for the ongoing promotion, you should fill in a small online form by August 16, accompanied by a brief description of your application.
The most pleasant thing in every competition is, of course, prizes. And they are such:
Authors of the best applications in the categories “ Home and Lifestyle ”, “ Entertainment ”, “ Education ”, “ Tools and Safety ” and “ Games ” are waiting for $ 10,000 each .
The developer, who is lucky enough to win the title " Audience Award ", will receive $ 20,000 .
If you really try and approach responsibly, not only to the program code, but also to its design, then there will be every chance of becoming the owner of the title “ The most elegant design of the application .” In this case, the choice will be a fee of $ 50,000 or a comprehensive advertising campaign to promote your application.
In case the developer surpasses himself and hits everyone, i.e. will become the owner of the title " The most innovative application ", then Intel is ready to give a choice of $ 50,000 or a 2011 Chevy Volt car. And you asked why I inserted the car icon ...
Do not forget that, in addition to prizes, all authors are deducted money from the actual sales of applications in the Intel AppUp store!
Since the competition is essentially international, you need to send your application in English. Support Russian-speaking users will be the Russian Intel ISN team, which will try to simplify the registration and submission of applications, as well as always answer questions.
Several programs can participate from one author, and each can become a winner in several nominations at once. I also want to note that the time of acceptance of works in each of the nominations varies. In general, in any case, I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the rules - they are on the contest page .
It was nice to see the activity in the competition of ideas (which, by the way, will go before March 31), as well as considerable interest and the desire of users to develop something on their own. Now there is everything for it - conditions, incentive and time. In my opinion, an excellent chance to demonstrate their knowledge and creative abilities, to prove their habrieness;)
I wish you success and crushing victories!
