I had a blast last night judging the local entries to the Imagine Cup.  The entries were all over the map but at least two teams I thought did a fairly good job of coming up iwith a plausible scenario.  One team, the winner, had a fully implemented and functional solution.  I couldn't believe the effort that went into it.  They ended up creating half a dozen new controls for the compact framework and demoed the application running on the smartphone emulator.  It was quite clever and they had clearly thought through the issues with making the application run on a small device with no keyboard. They wanted to demo on a real smartphone but ran into the same problems most US developers hit, lack of devices. 

Congratulations to the University of Washington winners and good luck at the national competition.
