TrollTech's $10,000 Carrot For Zaurus PDA Apps

The site says that "entries must function with the Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D and must be compiled with Qt/Embedded, version 2.3.2," but the rules make no demands one way or the other regarding licensing. How about making a GIMP-based ultra-mini photo studio tool?

  1. 399.00 beta?!? by geekoid · · Score: 3, Insightful

    they want me to spend 399.00 dollars for a beta/unfinished unit? Then develop apps for free so they can get a larger cutomer base?

    whats the work I'm looking for...hhmmmmm...NO!

    Give me one, and a reasonable goal to develop towards, I'd do it in a heart beat. Maybe seeing a company using a shareware app I developed in 93 to automate a process and reap huge rewards, none sent to me, has made me bitter.
    but I'm through developing for anybody who doesn't pay.
