Round 1: Deadline is October 24, 2012
What is the Challenge?
To write an Ultrabook enabled Windows 8 application and have it posted on the Intel AppUp store by December 1, 2012.
What sort of applications are acceptable?
Almost anything. This is an Ultrabook competition so you need to ensure your application takes advantage of the new Ultrabook capabilities. If it's a Windows application then it will work, obviously, and if you accept cursor input then the touchscreen input will work out of the box, too. But they want more:
1) Make your app touch aware, not just touch enabled
2)or maybe integrate location data
3)or include smart connect support – have your apps respond to messages when the Ultrabook is sleeping
4)or maybe just go crazy with the sensors – tilt it, shake it, lift it or spin your Ultrabook around and have your app know what's going on. Great for game developers or those who just want to make a fun widget.
The more you show off what an Ultrabook can do, the more you demonstrate that an Ultrabook isn't your Dad's old, tired PC, the better your chances. Make your existing app engaging on an ultra-light, ultra-portable Ultrabook .
