ESA App challenge winner

I have participated in the first ESA (European Space Agency) app dev challenge where 5 teams competed on best concept/prototype that will bring GMES data sources to the public on mobile devices. Our team (Czech Republic, Germany, Macedonia) won and each member got iPad 3 . We won not because we were best in terms of the best prototype, concept or presentation, but because we fit best to the criteria imposed by this challenge and each piece of delivery (5 page long document describing concept, presentation, prototype demo) was pretty good and simple enough to be feasible for final realization. Moreover a unique value of mobile devices plus unique value of GMES satellites have been addressed. Full article can be read here : http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEMIQOBXH3H_index_0.html
