Silver Award

TaggyNet - Polytech Marseille (France) 

TaggyNet proposes an additional value to on-line communities like MySpace.com, facebook.com or hi5.com. This application provides new ways to exchange information and to be in touch for community members. Many public sites, stores, restaurant, hotels having a tag waiting to be "tagged" represent a potential source of information for customers. This network of tags is intended to grow up because each community member will be able to share his feelings about a specific place. As a result, an indirect publicity will be generated for the whole community.

Bronze Award

SIMail - FH Hagenberg (Austria)

SIMail is a device independent application to administrate business tasks, like mails and calendar events. As it runs directly on the SIM card the Communicator is always on. The "Push-mail" or "Exchange" functionality thus does not depend on the mobile device, but on the SIM card.

Telefonica Award

SSA (SIM Single Authenticator) - University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain)

The SSA application allows introducing user's credentials (e.g. username and password) associated to web services in a secure way. The data is stored on the SIM so that in subsequent occasions, the application can automatically provide the credentials on behalf of the user to the web sites and will present a web application with the relevant information about these sites.
