PUSH N900 competition

September 23 2009

What do I need to design/make?

“PUSH N900 is a unique project from Nokia. And we’re looking for help from the world’s most skilled designers, artists, hackers and modders. We’re asking you to team up, share thoughts and submit your ideas.

We want you to hack the N900. A panel of expert judges will then pick the most impressive and innovative ideas. We’ll support you to make them real. Then we’ll take the final creations on a world tour.”

Here’s one example: Rolodex working together with the N900.

What’s the price?

“We will be funding winning hacks with an average of $1500 to cover the bulk of any additional equipment required to make them work – though if projects require more or less funding just let us know and we’ll consider it (we don’t want anything to get in the way of your thinking).

In addition to the funding, we’ll be giving all the winners N900 devices (more than one if we think it’s required) and our ongoing support wherever we can help out.

Remember too that the winning hacks will be featured on a number of Nokia blogs, undoubtedly be seen and admired by Nokia fans across the globe and also be featured as part of a series of installations in Nokia Flagship Stores. That’s money-can’t-buy stuff.”
