Michael Yuan, a graduate student from the University of Texas at Austin
won the University Wireless Developer Contest for his iFeedback
application, a mobile survey tool that allows professors to send
course-related questionnaires for open, real-time communications with
students. Yuan received a $20,000 scholarship, along with other prizes.
The second and third place winners are Ramswaroop Somani, a senior from
the Georgia Institute of Technology and Ju Long, a business graduate
student from the University of Texas at Austin. Somani's application,
the University Positioning System, provides for real-time tracking of
people and possessions on campus. It is also a location-based reminder
and calendar system that provides directions to and from university
buildings. Long developed SmartPhrases, a mobile spell checker and
dictionary application that also checks usage of words in phrases.
Somani and Long received $10,000 and $5,000 scholarships for their
winning applications. The contest was sponsored by wireless
serviceprovider Nextel Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc., and Motorola Inc.
