It was cynical, it was me. That's a $200,000 investment in what would otherwise be much more in development. The free apps that prop up the tablets are doing a lot to sell more than the 500 discounted ones.

250 votes, even if all the original candidates have told their friends and family and most of them actually listened, is probably not going to be that much interest to Nokia if I were to bet on it.
As for "next time", I think there are a number of good suggestions, such as not showing the results until voting has closed, or new members not voting. But hey, new members means more publicity and I can't blame anyone for siding with that.

I'm surprised the library dude isn't doing better. Presumably he has multiple internet access terminals readily available and an entire student body he could tap for gratuitous votes.

Very odd growth spurts, it'd be really interesting to go over that back end data.

RE: Offical Nokia contest and
*drool* I SOOOooo want there to be a next time - this was loads of fun, and have a ton of great ideas. It would be terrific if Nokia did a more official version of this contest - but I also think it's unlikely. Giving out the discounts on the N810 was pretty generous, so it's probably not gonna happen. Still, if Nokia wants to expand the market for the NIT, having user created content showing what they can do is a great way to get people interested.
This contest? AWESOME - Huzzah for thoughtfix!

Results coming soon, eh? Go Thomas!
Is anyone else more interested in this contest than they are in most sporting events? (save for football hooliganery, of course
)

I'm with you Cat. Honestly more than a little surprised at our current leader. Hedge mentioned this isn't a charity (didn't he? Or did someone else...) and that's true. Really it's Thoughtfix's money so however he wants to do the contest is fine. But I must say it does seem wrong that our man the movie dude is ahead.
