Then let Nokia make it for you! To celebrate the launch of its N8 phone, Nokia is running a competition called <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/n8makemyapp.com\/\">Make My App<\/a><\/strong>, where contestants are invited to send their ideas for cutting-edge mobile applications.<\/p>\n<p>You can suggest an idea in one of four different application categories: <strong>Think Green<\/strong>, <strong>Fun and Games<\/strong>, <strong>Earlier Living<\/strong> and <strong>Better World<\/strong>. All you need to do is visit the Make My App page, enter your name and email address and give a description of your app. You can even attach conceptual drawings, layouts or sketches. Bizarrely, the judging panel includes <a href=\"http:\/\/heroeswiki.com\/Tim_Kring\">Tim Kring<\/a>, creator of the hit TV show Heroes, and Mat Osman, bassist for 90s indie band, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suede.co.uk\/\">Suede<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There will be 12 overall winners who win a <strong>trip to September&#8217;s Nokia World event<\/strong> in London to see their apps get made by professional developers. The lucky dozen will also <strong>win a Nokia N8 device<\/strong>, with their application already loaded. The winning apps will make it onto the Ovi Store, for the whole world to download and enjoy. There&#8217;s no mention of any cut of the proceeds of the app&#8217;s sales though, which seems pretty tight on Nokia&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]OBtG46ZPkmo[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>closing date for entries is June 27th<\/strong>.
