Apple Announced Second Dashboard Widget Contest

on this Apple Developer Connection web page. Dashboard will be a new component of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It will run small applications called Widgets. Apple is offering a 40-GB iPod as a prize to the developer who produces the best widget in a contest that ends January 5, 2005. To enter, a person must be a member of the Apple Developer Connection and download the Dashboard Widget SDK. Making Widgets is relatively easy. The first Widget contest was held at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in June 2004. [Dana Baggett]
