Hi All,

There I was working hard on sunday night to deliver a kind of working
demo application for the T-mobile contest. 5 minutes to 8 on monday,
just in time to sent it in. Oh well I didn't win, that doesn't matter.
I did my best and the free promotion that was in the rulez seemed
worth the effort. I had sent in two apps. One was even mentioned as an
original idea: "Resortmaps" another one "Mileage registration"

Quote ADCA App Submit: "Prizes for all All submitted apps(that work)
are communicated on T-Mobile microsite. This site will be communicated
by T-Mobile".

Here we are the 6-th of februari ... nothing on the T-Mobile site
accept the winners of the competition.

Pretty lousy.... Sorry, I mean really lousy or ... this sucks big
time.

Hi,

I'm sorry about that and will look into it.

That particular rule was one of the reasons I participated in the
contest as well.
I made Qibla, an app that shows an arrow towards Mecca, and Waterpas,
a spirit level.
None of them is on the T-mobile microsite yet either. I would love to
see them there.

Hi Jurgen,

I am just writing a letter to T-mobile together with an invoice for
100 hours (65,- euro an hour). I suggest you do the same thing. It is
fine if they won't put the application in the microsite but then they
have to pay me for the hours I spent on my applications. The only
reason for me to participate was the fact that it would generate some
PR.

The adress:
T-mobile zakelijk
Postbus 16878
2500 BW DenHaag

Gr.


Andy.

Hi Andy and Jurgen,

The website has been updated with all entries: http://www.t-mobile.nl/promo/g1/features.html.
Both your apps are there.

Hi Peter,

We also participated with our 'eyeDentify' submission, however our
application didn't make it to T-Mobile's website. Any idea why?
