3 launches developer competition for the Motorola A920 video mobile

September 12, 2003

3UK announced the launch of a competition inviting developers to submit applications to run on its new video mobile, the Motorola A920.

With its large colour touch screen, powerful processor, and support of Symbian OS C++, Macromedia Flash and Java technologies it provides an exciting platform for developers applications.

The competition is open to developers from companies and individual developers who wish to enter. The competition covers three separate technology environments: Symbian OS, Java and Macromedia Flash. In each of these technologies there are three categories for the type of application presented: Games, Music/entertainment/infotainment and Business/Utilities/E-learning.

There are a range of competition prizes including the latest Motorola A920 series developer phone, software bundles from Sun and Macromedia, membership to Symbian's Affiliate partner program and Motorola Bluetooth headsets.

The competition will be the first time that 3 have engaged with the developer communities of Motorola, Symbian, Sun and Macromedia. In also represents an important milestone in assisting the developer community to harness the power of 3's latest video mobile for developing innovative applications and content propositions.

"Sun is enabling 3 to effectively deliver dynamic Java technology-based applications which are stimulating demand for its 3G services," said Jonathan Schwartz, Executive Vice President, Software, Sun Microsystems Inc. "Sun has a global community of over 3 million Java developers who are creating exciting and innovative games and applications. The 3 competition is an excellent opportunity for them to bring their applications to market."

"Macromedia Flash Player is the leading rich Internet client and having it supported on 3's new Motorola handset will enable our existing developer base to create content and applications for this exciting new device," said Peter Meechan, vice president, Macromedia. "We are pleased to co-sponsor this competition and look forward to seeing what our developer community delivers, as they always inspire us with their ability to merge form and function into great digital experiences."

Isabel Chapman from Motorola said "We are very proud of our newly launched Motorola A920 and we believe the potential is enormous for delivering fun and functional applications to consumers. The 3 competition is a great incentive to encourage the developer community to create something new and unique for the A920."

Ed Kay, Director of tools and developer relations, Symbian, said, "By joining the A920 application competition, developers can take advantage of the growing commercial opportunities with 3 - a leading 3G network - and Symbian OS whether it means writing applications for C++, Macromedia Flash or Java technologies. Symbian is excited to support 3 and its developer community on its first Symbian OS phone."
