Mozilla Launches Firefox Mobile Add-On Challenge 

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has launched a contest to spur on 
| development of add-ons for its recently-
| released Firefox for Mobile browser. 
| Between now and April 12, developers are 
| encouraged to create extensions or other 
| add-ons tailored for the mobile browser. 
| The top ten submissions (as judged by 
| Mozilla's Add-ons and Mobile teams) will 
| each be awarded a package containing a 
| Mozilla t-shirt, phone case, and a brand-
| new Nokia N900 phone -- which runs the 
| Maemo mobile Linux operating system and was 
| the very first device to support Firefox 
| for Mobile.
| 
| The goal of the contest is to extend 
| Firefox in innovative ways that take 
| special advantage of the fact that the 
| browser is mobile: the small screen size, 
| the touch-screen interface, and the out-
| and-about nature carrying the browser in 
| your pocket. Complete rules for the contest 
| are available on developer.mozilla.org and 
| specify compatibility and UI style 
| guidelines. The contest is for add-ons 
| which in Mozilla parlance includes both 
| extensions and media plugins, though most 
| of the discussion centers on extensions. 
| The judges indicate three areas which they 
| are most interested in seeing add-ons break 
| new ground: using native device APIs, photo 
| / media / social sharing tools, and 
| session- and file-saving tools.
