Since I first starting working on the O2 Litmus concept back in early 2008, I have always tried to ensure our strategy and plans have been under pinned by a clear understanding of both developer needs, and the requirements of O2’s customers. To date we have conducted four major pieces of developer & customer research in 2008 and then refreshing in 2009.

Continuing in this tradition, I’m pleased to announce we are sponsoring a new, ambitious research project by VisionMobile that will benchmark the developer experience across all 8 major platforms (iPhone, Android, Symbian, Java ME, RIM, Windows Mobile, Flash Lite or mobile web).

I’d encourage all mobile developers to participate and help set the standards for the future of mobile software development.

Prizes

All participants will be included in a draw for 21 great prizes:

 - 1 participant wins €500 in Amazon Vouchers

 - 20 participants win a glossy A1 wallchart of the Mobile Industry Atlas, the definitive who’s who of the mobile ecosystem.

+ chance to win 1 free MWC pass: Participants who register by Friday 5th February will automatically be entered into a prize draw for a complimentary entry pass to Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona (a value of €599), supplied by us.
