Microsoft Mobile Incubation Week comes to Europe – give them your ideas

April 25, 2009 | By Surur

As promised earlier, Microsoft’s Mobile Incubation week is spreading to other countries. The latest announced venue is in London, UK, where the event will be held at Microsoft’s Cardinal Place Office, Victoria, 1st – 5th June.

Like the US version, the event will feature technical and business gurus from Microsoft, technology veterans who have built their own Windows Mobile applications, and influential venture capitalists and industry experts.

They will lead interactive discussions, provide helpful advice, and facilitate actual application development on the Windows Mobile platform. At the end of the week, a winner will be selected who will be eligible for prizes and special PR opportunities. The event is completely free, and each team can bring up to three participants (1 business and 1-2 technical). All start-ups are eligible, whether or not they have a mobile application built today. The only requirement is that the app being developed should be targeted at Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.

Now the last MIB did not, as far as I am concerned, produce any ground-breaking apps. I think our readers can do much better. Is there any app our readers feel really should, but is not being developed on Windows Mobile? Why don’t you list your ideas below?

My idea is a GPS-based Craigs list. Users will be able to upload comments and ads with a GPS location and radius of action (100m, 500m, 1 km), which will be overlaid on a map of the city or area. To prevent GPS spam ads could be voted down, which will reduce the radius over which the ad will be displayed.

My idea is GPS based also (I mean it is the future), I would like it to notify me when I, for example, have to get eggs from the supermarket, when i drive pass a supermarket it reminds me to get eggs. now someone create it!

I was on a trip across USA last year. I wanted to blog (to blogger) about it on my WM device while on the road and save that. Then when I got connection again the program would post it to the blog with the pictures and the formatting. Well.. I couldn’t find any application at all that would do it.
So I require a program for bloggers to work offline.

Another program I cant find is a GOOD Twitter client.
Also another thing I wanted is to use my WM device as a little digital frame while on standby but a digital frame which would load the pictures from flickr or another internet site (like slickr-dotnet for Windows). Also a GOOD flickr uploader app would be great.

If anybody knows about any of these four apps I am looking for, please let me know.
Thank.

Another thing I would like to see is rockbox ported to WM as an application.

tblogger ( http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=2337 ) allows off-line blogging.
There are many twitter apps. pocketwit is pretty good.

I agree a good digital photo-frame that downloads from photo sites is sorely needed.

tblogger was one I saw but it doesn’t work with Blogger. I went to see if it supported it now but it hasn’t been updated.
I will keep waiting for someone to do it one day.. Thanks anyway.

Btw: any good flickr uploaders?Resco Photo it is quite bad at that.
