The giant mobile carrier has also announced the App Star competition, which has a combined prize fund of €1,000,000.

Vodafone is searching for “the most innovative and useful mobile widgets” compatible with the new 360 platform and it’s ready to offer up to €100,000 to two developers of the best widgets.

The App Star competition will have two phases: the first one is open now, while the second one will debut in 2010. To enter the competition, visit this website.
