Microsoft and Dell will hold a one day competition where students and professionals from all disciplines come together to develop the next killer Mobile device application.  Participants will be taught in the morning how to develop an application for Mobile devices using the .NET Compact Framework.  In the afternoon working in groups, participants will be asked to design and develop their own Mobile application.  Instructors will be on-site to assist participants throughout the development cycle and answer any questions they may have.  Toward the end of the day, participants will be asked to present their applications to the class and a group of Microsoft and Dell judges will choose the best application.  There could be up to 2 participants per team.
