"On March 29 Macromedia opened the Pocket PC Flash Contest to developers who wanted to flex their Flash prowess to win one of eight Apple iPods or the grand prize — a 42-inch plasma TV! The contest was meant to challenge developers to see how fast and easy mobile development is with Macromedia Flash and to showcase the next generation of mobile applications."
