Categories
This year, the award categories are broader to inspire imagination and greater innovation. The judging panel of industry experts will evaluate the submissions in each of the categories below based on ease of use, entertainment factor, innovation, look and feel, uniqueness, creativity and audio performance:
Being Productive
When you're on the move it's important to be able to take your office with you. Transcending traditional smartphone functions, today's end-users require email, Web, document editing or anything that will make working while on-the-go easier.
Going Green
Everyone is doing their part to help the environment. Whether keeping track of carbon footprints, sourcing that new must-have green product or saving power, today's mobile phones can play an integral role in helping our planet.
In-Car applications
Being on-the-go also means being responsible when behind the wheel of a car. You can create content and services that enhance the in-car user experience as well as safety benefits. Visit www.sonyericsson.com/car for inspiration.

Lifestyle Experiences
