From a technical perspective, the heart of the competition is Visual Studio .NET and the SMS driven Vodafone SMS Web Service. I am looking forward to seeing some inspiring ideas taking shape! Come up with your own idea, check out the registration agreement, register and join!<br /><br />"We are seeking developer applications that demonstrate excellence in programming and showcase the use of mobile Web services using Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET and Vodafone SMS Web services.
