BT offers £1K for Wi-Fi application

Bloody obvious!

- Synchronising ringtones with your PC

- Downloading pictures from the phone to the PC

- Synchronizing email and SMS messages with the PC

And since it's Wifi, all of those could be done remotely; say, when I am in Quebec and my PC is (as always) in Oregon.

But I'm not going to write anything. Let Nokia do it.

Another go at toothing....

So, they're looking for something new and interesting to do at a BT Openzone wifi spot?

Maybe we could have another shot at a decent 'toothing' application? With wifi, users could benefit from a 'richer' multimedia experience, possibly by viewing the potential partner's MySpace page, before making a commitment to any hankypanky.

something that scans your text messages and uses what it finds to pull relevant video advertisements whenever you're in wifi range.

What I'd like to see...

Is an application for the Nokia N95, that will allow it to act as a Wi-Fi to 3G wireless router.

Re: Bloody obvious!

I'm pretty sure the N95 can do all those already

"As long as your entry can install on a S60 or UIQ device (version 3 or above), then it can be entered into the competition - assuming it uses Wi-Fi, of course.®"

So much for Windows Mobile.

Erm stuff like.....

web mail, pc anywhere, websurfing the normal stuff you do with a internet/network connection, i.e SPV Office files etc

The Killer App

How about remote management tool that reboots the phone when you attempt to use low cost VoIP over wifi ... should keep the revenue rolling. Symbian ... zzzzzhhh ... why not COBOL?

BT and Symbian generosity

£1k top prize, two £250 second prizes and 10 runner up prizes of a Symbian press book ?

BT must be desperate.

Perhaps £1k for the idea but this is marketing/development on the cheap.

Hang on, perhaps it's ingenious, they could offer a £10 reward for someone to fix their Home Hub security flaw (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/09/bt_home_hub_vuln/) ...

One Word....

PuTTY

On Line Backup....

I would have thought a killer app for this would be to auto detect an unsecured (or registered) WiFi Zone, connect, then synchronise your contacts and photos as well as ringtones.
