Trolltech will give away dozens of hacker-friendly Linux phones to winners of a mobile phone software programming contest launched today. The "Qtopia Greenphone Developer Challenge" will also pay two winners $5,000 each, and fly them to Trolltech's "Developer Days" event.
The Greenphone Challenge is the second coding contest Trolltech has sponsored so far this year, after the QT Centre Contest launched in January.
Entries may be based on either the commercial or open source versions of Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition software stack. They will be accepted in five categories:
* Best original application
* Best improvement of an existing Qtopia Phone Edition application
* Best end to end service
* Best user interface experience
* Best in the impossible-to-classify category
