Gokivo

NIM’s Gokivo was recently announced as the winner of Microsoft’s Mobile Incubation Week. This contest, an American Idol style competition for mobile application developers, was a first-ever and was held on Microsoft’s campus in Silicon Valley. The purpose was to show off top mobile applications and the upcoming Windows Marketplace for mobile available this Fall.

And (in case we didn’t make it clear) we won!

Out of a pool of 50 applicants, they chose six finalists to give a presentation of their app to a panel of judges including reps from CNET and Gizmodo. NIM was announced as the winner via the Twitter feed of Brian Hoskins from Microsoft.

By winning the contest, Gokivo will receive early placement into Windows Marketplace when it is finally released to the general public.
