Sony Ericsson co-sponsors 2009 NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge
Announced on September 10, 2008, Sony Ericsson is a co-sponsor of the 2009 NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge, providing qualifying contestants with the phones and software tools to enable Java™ ME and Project Capuchin application creation. In addition to being closely involved with the judging process, Sony Ericsson Developer World also supplies quick registration links for registered members to join the NAVTEQ Network for Developer.
About NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge 2009
This is a global contest that challenges application developers to build innovative location-based services (LBS) that work with mobile phones and/or wireless handheld devices using dynamic positioning technology and NAVTEQ maps.
Winners receive recognition and marketing exposure to launch their mobile LBS applications as well as prizes consisting of cash and data licenses.
This year the global prize pool is valued at over $5.25 million USD.
Originally launched in North America in 2003, this contest has expanded across the globe into Europe and Asia-Pacific, focused on driving the development and visibility of creative location-aware solutions for wireless devices - from business to sports, travel and security.
The entries must be non-commercial at the time of submission and many have evolved into commercially successful applications, some receiving venture capital funding and others launching on major wireless carriers.
Use Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin
As co-sponsor, Sony Ericsson Developer World is providing qualifying contestants with phones – the C702 Cyber-shot™ featuring a built-in GPS and the Project Capuchin-enabled C905 Cyber-shot – and Java ME and Project Capuchin development tools. Sony Ericsson will also be closely involved in the judging process for all three legs of the contest: Europe, the Americas and APAC.
"At Sony Ericsson we are always expanding our developer relationship and looking for new applications and interesting partners to enrich our user experience," says Christopher David, Head of Java Strategy Planning at Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.
"Our partnership with NAVTEQ for the Global LBS Challenge 2009 allows us to put our new Project Capuchin technology into the hands of developers with the intention of creating and exploring and rich, innovative LBS applications."
Sony Ericsson's recently announced Project Capuchin SDK is a set of APIs, a packaging tool, documents and getting-started tutorials that enables developers to bridge the Java ME and Adobe® Flash Lite™ programming environments.
Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin allows developers to combine the richness of both Java ME and Flash Lite by encapsulating Flash Lite content in Java ME applications making content created by Adobe Flash technology appear as Java ME applications.
