Loving the techies
I met a media chap the other day who told me I didn’t look like or sound like a techie and he meant that as a deep and sincere compliment. So I took it that way, and in any case I like to have artistic aspirations in writing, theatre, art and photography so it tickled my own conceits.
However it is good to see mobile companies beginning to value the developers that drive the adoption of new services. We’ve seen the App Store with its deluge of torches and tip calculators, the Android Challenge and it’s dismal winners, and the utterly dull BlackBerry investments. Nokia have been running developer competitions for years, but usually restricted to games.
Now Sony Ericsson are running a competition for X1 “panels”, which sounds like a great promotional vehicle for smaller or individual developers.
