Ericsson has today announced the short-listed apps. The 6 apps from East and Central Africa will now compete for the grand prize while the submissions from West and South Africa were disqualified over failure to meet submission requirements.
The short-listed teams are:

The competition looked to give developers exposure within the telecoms world and a chance to reach out to customers via Ericsson’s distribution channels. The short-listed apps have the opportunity to win the latest top of the range Sony Ericsson phones and €15,000 in prize money.
