Will Digital Jam 2.0 help JA become region's silicon Island? - Business - JamaicaObserver.com: "Last week, the World Bank brought Silicon Valley entrepreneurs together with young Jamaican techie's in what was called Digital Jam 2.0, honouring an earlier effort in 1994 led by Jamaican Hugo Daley.
The most exciting competition of the two-day event was the "Mobile Apps" competition, won by Joel Dean with their Pothole Positioning System, designed to assist drivers in identifying potholes on their journey and logging a hands free report on it through their mobile phone. Other applications created by young Jamaican's included a JUTC routes application, designed to update passengers on arrival and departure times through a customer's phone, a mobile ticket selling application from Team EZ Ticket and a couple of Olympics related applications designed to allow one to follow one's favourite Olympic athletes in a more personalised way."
