While lots of clever people are falling over themselves to put Apps on the Apple iPhone maybe the same is not quite the case for the Blackberry Storm. So Vodafone has launched a competition to develop Apps for the stumbling smartphone platform.

The lucky winner will bag €50,000 if they are judged best in their efforts to come up with a stonking program. Second prize is €15,000 and €5,000 for third place.

Vodefone said it was looking for pioneering, smart and new software for the touchscreen RIM smartphone. The best three apps will then appear to downlod from the BlackBerry Application Center.

The competition ends on 30 April.
