Useful Information

For anyone that is looking for inspiration (other than in the data), the submissions for 2010's bigapps are here:
http://2010.nycbigapps.com/submissions

I don't see the list from 2009 (I assume since this is 3.0, there were two before). If anyone knows the list of winners from 2009, please post a link.

Also, for Android apps, if you've programmed in Basic (or never programmed before, but want to give it a try), take a look at Basic4Android (dubiously hosted at http://www.basic4ppc.com/, but trust me, its for Android). It has a nice on device gui drag and drop UI designer, so mocking up your apps is pretty strait forward.

For web servers, Amazon Web Services (aws.amazon.com) offers a free "micro" tier for new signups where you can very quickly get up servers to host your application.

And lastly, for any phone and SMS apps, I've had great success with Twilio's (http://www.twilio.com/) suite of APIs that have bindings for PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python, and probably Java.

Anyone old schoolers from the past two years want to share some advice or suggestions to us new folks?

    Thanks Marny -- I was just looking for inspiration -- and knowing what's already been done, helps me (and everyone else) not overlap existing effort. Once we have our concept, use cases, and perhaps a proof of concept (or just mockup), is there somewhere that we can submit it privately to make sure it does overlap any of the previous submissions?
