Joikusoft APAC winners of Navteq global LBS challenge

Damian Koh | Jun 18, 2008

These guys may have walked away with a total prize package valued at US$275,000 here at CommunicAsia, but you aren't leaving empty-handed, either. Download the free JoikuSpot software and you'll earn street cred for using an award-winning app on your smart phone.

In a nutshell, JoikuSpot morphs your handset into a mobile hotspot via 3G and allows multiple WLAN devices to connect to the phone in order to log onto the Internet. Of course, this pretty much depends on your plan since you'll be leeched dry if you are not on an unlimited data plan.

We are all for sharing, but first, we'll need to get on an unlimited data plan. Any offers?

The 2009 LBS Challenge is starting again, and the global prize pool is larger than the last one, at $5.25m USD (vs $4.50m in 2008).

Also, the device sponsors has expanded to include Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung.

The registration site is www.lbschallenge.com, and developers can pick which region (EMEA, Americas, APAC) to enter and which device to target.
