Travel Widgets - Early bird winner

, , ,

We received a bunch of great early-bird submissions to our Travel Widget competition. I'm pleased to announce johnnysaucepn as the early-bird winner with his watchTheRoad widget.

Other early submissions were fun and useful as well, and the fact that watchTheRoad only covers the UK had us wondering a little bit if we should choose a different winner, but in terms of usefulness, coolness, and pushing the envelope of what you can do with widgets, watchTheRoad is the clear winner of this round.

johnnysaucepn will receive a Nintendo DS Lite and Opera for DS. Congrats!

Thank you to all participants, and tune in next week to see the final winners.

Here is the full list of early-bird submissions:

Danish to English
Find your hotel in Hungary, Budapest
Travel
Sheep Count
Flight Tracker
Free HotSpot Search
Multimap
watchTheRoad
