Re:An Ipod for IP

You get more than just an iPod. Winners get a Macbook as well as royalties over the shareware that will be developed for them. That sounds like a pretty good return for just providing a good idea.

Re:So much for Appley originality

I'm not sure where the "american idol" comparison came from (well i am actually, some inflammatory print written by the guy who submitted this story) but mydreamapp.com doesn't state any such thing. Check the front page. And also claiming something about Apple originality is pointless, this has nothing to do with Apple the company. This is a competition for software that will be developed by independent software developers and judged by some pretty in the know panelists. This isn't high drama, it's high development.

I for one am gonna take off my cynical hat, put on a "this could be cool" hat and wait and see what happens.
