Found this over att Forum Nokia Blogs, a discussion and information center for Symbian developers. Win a Nokia N95 Multimedia Device!! May 03, 2007 at 05:56 AM EEST One of the really fun things to do in my job is to award people S60 3rd edition devices. As manager of the Discussion Board I get to reward the poster of the month with a new device. Now as manager of the Forum Nokia Wiki I’ve been able to give away devices to the early contributors. Giving away Nokia’s goodies is so addictive that I’m back at it. The top contributors to the Forum Nokia Developers Wiki this May may win Nokia’s new premier multimedia device the N95. The rules are simple, contribute quality or topical articles, How to’s or code examples. All articles submitted during May will be subjectively judged on how well they are presented, what the content is and the number of quality entries. Not satisfied on just giving out one N95, we have decided that the number of N95’s rewarded will be reflected by the number or quality articles submitted. The more that people participate the more N95’s we will give away. So if you aren’t one of those I’ve already given a S60 3rd Ed device to this year, start contributing to the Wiki, you might just be someone who gets an N95 and makes me happy. You’ll find the original post here and the Wiki here. Good luck everyone! Oh! Almost forgot, please send me a mail at dariosoltani(at)hotmail.com if you win! I’d love to announce the winner and do a short interview 
Phone tracker to keep pupils safe
A system that tracks students through their mobile phones is among the new technologies being developed to help improve security at America’s universities - something increasingly of concern since the tragic events at Virginia Tech in April.
College officials are increasingly looking to technology, from automated building lockdowns to campus-wide text messaging, to respond to campus emergencies……
NOW THIS IS HOW IT WORKS…..
Rave Guardian allows the student to set a timer - for perhaps half a hour, when they leave their friends’ dorm room to go back to theirs. If they return safe they can simply turn off the alarm.
“If something did happen, it would transmit their location every three minutes - including their profile - to campus safety,” Rodger Desai, president and CEO of the New York based company Rave Wireless, told BBC World Service’s Digital Planet programme.
“So the user pops up on a Google map, wherever they are in the country, and campus safety knows that something may be wrong.”
Rave Guardian is part of a software package known as Rave Campus. The system is currently used by 25 campuses, but the company hopes to be in 70 by the end of the year.
Rave Campus relies on Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data for most of its applications to work - such as a “kit” for universities so that students can track the shuttles and buses as they move around the campus.
Hopefully Rave Campus can go global - and possibly beyond education too, in places where the mobile phone is even more important in bringing communities together.
“Communities are beyond higher education,”
“We get questions from our mobile operator partners about whether we can do hospitals and military bases and cities in general.
“So I think there’s a lot of interesting possibilities for the future - but I think we’re completely committed to higher education at the moment.”
