We’re putting the finishing touches on the Tropo Developer Challenge, a way you can show off your Tropo applications and have the chance to win some fun stuff throughout the year. Got an app that you’ve been working on? Polish it up and get it ready for entry into the Developer Challenge. Rules and details will be announced shortly.

We hear Apple has some sort of new product. Want one? Good, because the first prize we’ll be giving out is an Apple iPad.

Don’t have a Tropo app yet? Create an account and get started. Tropo is 100% free for developer use. Build your app, test it as long as you need to, and you don’t pay a thing until you’re ready to move to production. No messy developer credits to keep track of.
