Developer World Wiki competition: Win a P1 smartphone

The Sony Ericsson Developer World Wiki is now editable by all registered Community members - expanded beyond the previous setting of only forum members who have attained the Junior level or above - and to celebrate this, we are launching a competition where the most innovative use of a UIQ 3 API published as a Wiki article will win a new P1 smartphone. All articles need to be published in the UIQ 3 Wiki section by 23.59 Central European Time (CET) on August 27, 2007.

Logged in members can use the Wiki to share information by editing, correcting and adding to existing entries, or by creating new entries and linking to relevant content, allowing the Wiki to grow and evolve. The Wiki has three main sections – Java™ ME, Symbian OS/UIQ 3 and Media – with each section containing subcategories where the individual articles are located. Here you'll find advice, code examples and work-arounds provided by both community members and the Sony Ericsson Developer World team.

Competition details

A Wiki article sharing the most innovative use of a UIQ 3 API contributed by a registered Developer World member will win a P1 smartphone. To be considered in this competition, make sure that your article is relevant to developers and written in English, fills information gaps in the UIQ 3 Wiki section, includes quality code samples and features illustrations such as screenshots or diagrams. Remember that the Wiki is a public space and although we want you to share code snippets, please do not include any confidential information. All competition articles need to be published in the UIQ 3 Wiki section by 23.59 Central European Time (CET) on August 27, 2007.

Members of the Sony Ericsson Developer World team will assess the merit of the published Wiki articles and decide the one winner. Their judgment cannot be contested. The UIQ 3 Wiki article competition is open from now until 23.59 CET on August 27, 2007. The winner will be notified in due course. Competition terms and conditions are here>>

The Sony Ericsson P1 is our most feature-packed smartphone yet and offers Symbian OS™ / UIQ 3 developers many opportunities to create business and entertainment-related applications. This UIQ 3-based UMTS smartphone features a 3.2 Megapixel camera, a large QVGA touch screen with a transreflective display and dual-function keyboard. Multimedia and business connectivity are boosted by integrated WLAN, VoIP enabled, secure push email support, Opera 8 web browser with horizontal wide-screen browsing, RSS feed support and picture blogging. In addition to the UIQ 3 SDK, as the P1 includes integrated WLAN, you can also use the WLAN API to create applications using WiFi connectivity.

Wiki access from the dashboard
And don't forget that as a registered member, you can also create your navigation dashboard which includes an option to link to the Wiki.

The dashboard is your personalized navigation and information bar that remains with you as you use the Sony Ericsson Developer World web portal. The dashboard gives easy access to your favorite places on Developer World, offers real-time updates from your chosen discussion forums and you can choose to link to two other websites, making it easy to keep up-to-date on information that is important to you.

As an existing Community Member, when you log in to the web portal you will see a new banner prompting you to set up your personal navigation dashboard. Alternatively, you can click on the new "MySettings" link in the site navigation and select your dashboard preferences. The "MySettings" section is only accessible when logged-in and enables you to manage your account profiles, forum settings and dashboard choices.
