As one of the first initiatives from Ovi towards developers, we have kicked off a competition as part of Forum Nokia's Calling All Innovators contest. The Apps on Maps category was opened last week at Monaco, at the first Nokia Developer Summit. We have already seen some very interesting ideas.

We are keen to hear what type of content would you like to see on Maps. Also, working with you to implement those ideas. As much as we want to work with all of you, to ensure good quality maps applications, we will work with top 10 ideas for a start. These top 10 developers will get the tools to work with us to develop their ideas further. The completed apps will get premium placement at Ovi Store for distribution. The best 3 apps will win cash prizes and get showcased in a Nokia Global event later this year.

For the remaining ideas, you will hear from us later on how to continue to develop your ideas for distribution at Ovi Store to reach millions of Nokia consumers. This is a good opportunity for you to start thinking about building a cool Maps Applications or add context aware features to your existing web content.

So, let us hear your big idea at www.callingallinnovators.com/appsonmaps
