[NTLK] Newton Development Contest

Hello Everyone,
I am interested in setting up a competition or contest in order to spur Newton development. I have not decided all the details but my initial idea would be to have a monetary prize awarded to the most ingenuitively designed Newton accessory. Not only would there be a cash prize but I would also manufacture the item so that the 'concept' could be realized and provided to the Newton community.

The purpose of this post is to help me with what the Newton community is looking for. What direction should the competition take? Should the development be hardware or software based? Both? What do you list members think would be adequate compensation for such a competition?

Currently I am running a competition to design a logo for my website (www.newtonsales.com/contest.htm), there have been several entries but the participation is not exactly what I had anticipated considering the generous prizes that are available. I would like to ensure that there is sufficient interest in the contest before running one.

I would prefer if comments were emailed directly to me however banter on the list may promote more in-depth thinking on the subject and spur some good ideas. Any comments would be appreciated. With our hard work the community will flourish and continue to grow.

Sincerely
KN.
