Microsoft crowns 20 winners in Mango app contest, losers go home fruitless

We thought Mango’s nectar was already pretty damn sweet, but a collection of young developers recently took up the challenge to make the subsequent generation Windows Phone 7 experience much more delicious. Following up on last year’s ‘Rockstar’ competition, Microsoft asked students to submit Mango app prototypes via Twitter, with the promise of developers phones for the highest entries. One of the top 20 #WPAppItUp submissions are a program that helps the colorblind determine what shade of puce they’re peeping, and a sadistic alarm clock that requires users to resolve puzzles before hitting the snooze button. Apparently, Microsoft still has 30 Windows Phones to offer away, and is seeking young devs to give up America’s next top Mango app. Submission guidelines are available on the source link below.
