TiVo Announces Developer Challenge Winners

TiVo announced the winners for its HME Developer Challenge contest today. The grand prize winner is AudioFaucet (nee iSee iTunes) and its author Kyle Copeland, who will be receiving a Segway for his work. AudioFaucet provides control over iTunes for people streaming music using an Airport Express (or a really long audio cable) using TiVo's Home Media Engine platform.

The other winners are:

Best Music Application

Music Monkey, which plays music from your library and makes you guess the title.

Best Photo Application

Flickr/TiVo, a way to browse Flickr from your TiVo (previously discussed on PVRblog)

Best Game Application

NBC Trivia, a game using trivia from Seinfeld and Friends

Best Information Application

Digital Home, an application allows home automation enthusiasts to control lights, security cameras and more.

Most Creative Application

Galleon, a collection of apps that just hit version 1.0.0 and does all sorts of things like read email and RSS feeds, play podcasts, show webcams and a ton more.

Congratulations to all the winners and we hope to soon see the ones we can't find online yet!

When this contest was announced, I thought I read something about the winning applications being hosted on TiVo's servers. Is this going to happen? I have only laptops in my house, so they aren't always on.

I listened to the cc. He seems like a pretty dynamic guy with alot of contacts in the media area. Maybe too slick and too much of a dealmaker for Tivo, but maybe that's what they really need to dance around the elephants.

Was he really the best man for the job or was it more of an internal struggle? I think he probably had a leg up because as a board member he knew the business better than other candidates.

No, I dont think they are ever going to do anything with these applications. They probably just thought it would be fun to give some prizes away.
