Create an online widget – win an N97

By JBC on 30 June 2009

GLOBAL – Fancy getting your hands on an N97 for free, nowt, nada? Thought so. Online as it happens is a new Nokia campaign site designed to raise awareness of the Internet as it happens and how widgets can help bring it to life on your device. With more than 200,000,000 websites on the Internet now, it’s getting harder to find and access the information you want. Widgets can help, particularly on your mobile.
More a bit of fun than a serious widget creating device, the effects can be quite funny, as you’ll see from our own creation at the end of the story. Taking part is easy, it only takes a few minutes to create something quite cool and when you’re done you can share it with friends, or add it to your blog. What’s more, the winning widgets will be turned into mobile widgets and made available through Ovi Store.

Ten lucky winners will walk away with a brand new N97 complete with their winning widget pre-installed. Judges will be picking the winners based on the creativity displayed in the widget, and the feasibility of developing them for the Nokia N97. The competition only has another five days to run though, so you best get along and get your widget created without delay. Check out the promo video below, along with our nifty little creation, before you do though.

    @marcusjpotter, those links seems to work for us, for me (PC user) the site only opens with IE, not Firebox. Campaign sites might be limited for certain countries only. Looks it´s targeted for Indian visitors, altought the have global site too. Hmm.
