iPhone App Wins Microsoft-Campus Programming Contest

Yeah, iPhone - great and easy to program...just wait an eternity for a garage full of spotty interms to finally get around to approving it for release - that's a whole other ball game. Maybe Apple could organise an iPhone programming contest? All contestants must check in all non Apple technologies at the door, refuse to talk to anyone else, deny they've participated, accept unconditionally that the rules of the competition are not stable and maybe changed at any time without notice, not share their code or results with anyone else and let the aforementioned garage full of spotty interns make the jury and all the decisions, without review or explanation. But if you win, oh glory be.....
