And the goMobi Challenge Winner is …

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

The goMobi Challenge has come to an end. For those who weren’t following too closely, the goMobi Challenge was a contest to see the different and creative ways a designer could use the developer-specific tools included with each goMobi account.

The entries, which came from participants on practically every continent, were stellar. The judges even requested additional time to make sure each site received a extra-thorough review. After careful deliberation, our judging panel chose a shortlist of four honorable mentions and one winner.

The four honorable mentions are:

http://agltd.examplesite.mobi by Edmund Uspessij (Netherlands)
http://chattcougar.mobi by Cameron Johnson (USA)
http://mataroactivamobi.examplesite.mobi by Francesc Xavier Escandell Jiménez (Spain)
http://rnsbiz.examplesite.mobi by Richard Price (USA)

And the winner of the goMobi Challenge is http://www.snowboards.mobi by Nigel Ankin (UK).

The judges found that Nigel’s site “embraced the full suite of goMobi tools” and offered “rich multimedia content.” As winner, Nigel will receive a 16 GB WiFi-enabled iPad, 100 free goMobi accounts and a press release spotlighting his work.

We’d like to give a special “thank you” to our judges:

Michele Neylon of Blacknight (Ireland)
Tim Green of Mobile Entertainment (UK)
Jeremy Martin of 3CInteractive (USA)

And an especially big “thank you” to everyone who took the goMobi Challenge!

ISA's "Technical Innovation Award" to goMobi

ISA "Technical Innovation Award" Certificate for goMobi

I’m proud to share that goMobi was named as “Best Technical Innovation” of 2010 by the Irish Software Association (ISA). If that sounds a bit familiar, you may be remembering that dotMobi’s DeviceAtlas product was shortlisted for the same award two years ago.

This year’s awards ceremony was held on 12 November 2010, and dotMobi was pleased to share the evening’s spotlight with the winners in other categories, including Helix Health, ServiceFrame, DataHug, AdaptiveMobile, SAP BusinessObjects, Twelve Horses and Qumas.

You can read the ISA’s press release for more background on the ISA and their annual Software Industry Awards.

goMobi Challenge — Extended and iPadded!

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

The goMobi Challenge is on now!

Given that it’s been a very hot summer this year, we decided everyone needed a few days to regroup for the goMobi Challenge.
Since we want to see just how personalized you can make a goMobi site, we’re giving you a little extra time to show us your stuff. We’ve extended the contest through October 17, 2010.

And along with the first-prize package of 100 one-year subscriptions to the goMobi product and highlighting you and your winning entry via an international press release, we’re giving the winner a 16 GB, WiFi-enabled iPad (all the better for looking at mobile websites).

But time is still short, so get going now.

The goMobi Challenge is on!

Friday, July 30th, 2010

We’ve got a prize-winning contest for you: The goMobi Challenge is on now!

By now, you’ve heard us talk about goMobi, our new mobile site building and content management tool. While we’ve discussed it mainly as an easy way for non-tech folks to quickly build mobile sites, we designed it so that Web developer and designer pros can use it as a base for building top-notch mobile sites as personalized and unique as you — or your clients — want.

We want to see just how personalized and unique you can make a goMobi site. And that’s why we’ve created a special contest: the goMobi Challenge. The basics are simple. Register for a free test site at http://cp.gomobi.info/gomobi_challenge. Then check out our mobiForge article on using the many developer-specific tools included with each goMobi account. And build away! Build a site for a business — even your own — or a band or club or … Well, you get the idea. We want to see your creativity in using goMobi to create unique sites.

When you’re done, just visit our goMobi Facebook page (http://facebook.com/gomobi) to submit your entry.

“What do I win?”

If you’re the winner, you’ll receive a first-prize package consisting of 100 one-year subscriptions to the goMobi product plus we’ll highlight you and your winning entry via an international press release to help you gain more clients.

Contest submissions will be accepted through 15 September 2010. You can see the full list of rules and disclaimers at http://facebook.com/gomobi.

Now, get going and goMobi!
