The winners by popular acclaim were:

Simon Maddox for his hack / mash up to get TV shows easily streamed to your phone, I want it now! (for more info see mobileCamp post) - he won a voucher for a free iPhone (first winner got to choose which of the 3 prizes they wanted)
Sam Machin for his app to write notes on your mobile and send them to your Tumblr scrapbook (see the mobileCamp post, and also Sam did a great session on mobile data and the networks which I videoed) - he won a Nokia N95 smartphone
Dale Lane for his plugins for Windows Mobile (see mobileCamp post) - he won an OpenMoko Neo1973 handset

Congrats to them all, there were some excellent entries and the competition was hot! Sadly all the competitors were guys. It would be great to see a girl geek entrant next year, we can but hope. Sarah - ...?
