Nokia Push: New deadline

Hurry!

From Abby, at Nokia Push:

The deadline for Nokia Push N8 submissions has been extended to Friday 22 October 2010 at 6pm GMT.

We’ve been blown away by the variety and quality of the submissions we’ve received so far. But we had so many requests for more time to develop ideas that we decided to listen to the community and push the deadline back.

So, this means there’s still time to enter to win a prototype, Nokia N8 devices and a cool $1000 to cover your production costs.

Please submit your ideas and help us spread the word!
