The June issue of Popular Science is now in circulation. This means that the list of “The Nokia-PopSci Challenge” winners is complete. The winners were announced via Nokia advertisements in each Popular Science issue.
The May winner was M. Kangas whose application idea was called the “HotSpotter”. This application “would find Wi-Fi hot spots within range and uses the N800’s Internet radio feature to audibly tell you where the hot spot is located.”
The June winner was M. Cabot whose application was a “GPS Home Finder”. This idea suggested that “GPS technology is utilized to let the Nokia N800 search for and identify real estate listings that meet your desired criteria right on the screen.”
The fact that the contest winners were announced with an ad for the N800 means that we did not get any more information on the contest. Things like judging criteria and runner up application ideas were bypassed for notes about how “smart” the N800 is.
But congratulations are in order to these winners, who each received an N800.
