Announcing the preDevCamp Developer Challenge: enter to win a Palm Pre!

If you haven’t decided what Pre app you’d like to build this weekend, you’d better start brainstorming fast.  I’m pleased to announce that PreCentral is sponsoring the first ever preDevCamp Developer Challenge.  The best apps selected by our judges in each of 5 categories will win a shiny Palm Pre of their very own (via $200 gift card).  All entries will be publicly available to download on PreCentral, and the app with the highest user rating will receive a User’s Choice award that’s also good for $200 of potential Palm Pre goodness.

Here are the categories you can enter:

  • Media: Creating or managing music, photos, or videos
  • Communication: Making it easier to get a message from point A to point B
  • Games: Tapping, wiping, and shaking just for fun.
  • Productivity and Reference: tools to help you manage tasks and GTD
  • System utilities: Things that make the Pre more hackable or configurable

Dieter and I will be talking about the developer challenge tonight during the PreCast Live podcast, so be sure to tune in for more details.

    We here at the NYC Dev Camp have come up with something pretty nifty and want to share (and enter the contest). How exactly do we do that? Where do we send our app? Who is voting? When is the deadline to submit our app? We are still working today (Sunday) as we’ve been lucky to have a 3 day DevCamp!

    This was a fail, at least as far as the SF preDevCamp. No video, no slideshows, and we were pushed out at 6pm. Where, exactly, were we supposed to submit out apps for this?
