Marco Wessel and Arjan Scherpenisse of Mediamatic won third prize for their impressively jury-rigged iPhone-based RFID reader. They won a Clarifi Griffin Clarifi Case with Built-in Macro Lens.
Symbian
A team from Nulaz showed off a MobilePython app that lets you make missed. They won a copy of the Mobile Python book.
Design/Interaction
Don Hopkins wowed us with his iLoci iPhone app and web service, which is a sort of memory mapping service inspired by the ancient Greeks, Hypercard and MUDs. He won a copy of Flash CS4, which he will put to good use creating a richer web interface to iLoci.
