The Du mobile category was won by another team from Oman with their project “Find Me Taxi”.

It was a fantastic finals, they keep getting better every year.  Great competition from all over the gulf and the top teams from Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE advancing to represent their countries.

For my part, I want to congratulate everyone who participated in Imagine Cup this year and wish the winners the best of luck in Poland this July as they compete against the best of the rest of the world.  We saw so many technologies in use by the teams, from Surface to Windows Phone 7, Bing Maps, and even touchless technologies.

Also a special thanks to our partners Du and ITA Oman, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Check out some of the coverage of the event on ITP and photos.
