Samsung encouraging widget support for i8910 Omnia HD
Posted by soHD in Applications, News, tags: Widget
Samsung is encouraging developers to create widgets for the i8910 Omnia HD smartphone through the Samsung Innovation Quest 2009. It involves developing a home screen widget for the i8910 HD and the great thing is that the IP remains with the dev, rather than Samsung. There will be a cash prize for the winner along with promotion of the chosen widget. Apparently, there are no barriers about what your widget can be about.
It’s good news that Samsung continues to support the phone, especially with a new roster of Omnia handsets recently released. The competition launches next Wednesday 24 June 2009 (a day before we hopefully see the sim-free release in the UK). For more details, including how to enter, click here. The competition is open to anyone.

“It’s good news that Samsung continues to support the phone” What!!! It hasn’t even been releases sim-free in the UK yet.
I’m extremely concerned that you would even think about Samsung withdrawing support from the the i8910 at this point. Is this their normal practise?
Not at all, probably a poor choice of words on my part. However, there has been a feeling from some quarters that Samsung may not be pushing the phone too hard as it probably only appeals to ‘tech geeks’ only, rather than being a mainstream device.
With Samsung offically launching new members to the Omnia family this week, I’m hoping that the Omnia HD doesn’t get left behind.
It will not be a mainstream device, since it’s not sold everywhere (yet). Too bad. LG has done that much better with their LG Viewty Smart. That’s available everywhere pretty fast after launchevent.

Yea. Why the wait? I definately ain’t getting it on orange!
It’s only coming on 25 july in korea (samsungs home-country) so I guess we’ll have more to see from this device, much more
