Samsung launches new developer contest

Samsung is now welcoming game and mobile app makers to create titles for its Application Store Developer Challenge 2009.

The inaugural event offers up to $100,000 to the winning working app, and currently welcomes developers from the UK and Italy to submit entries under eight categories: Games, Entertainment, Health/Life, E-Book, Productivity, Reference, Social networking and Utilities.

Running with a relatively short timeframe, the event runs until December 10th. Designed to offer a platform for aspiring app developers, the contest hopes to reward a creation that 'bucks the trend and delivers a unique experience'.
