Orange brings together key players from the Mobile World and announced that it expects over 450 delegates to attend its third award-winning Code Camp event. Code Camp brought together mobile application developers, games publishers, content providers, device manufacturers and operating systems companies from all over the world, for 72 hours of workshops, seminars, networking and testing.

As with the previous award-winning events in Europe and the US, Code Camp Opio has been put together in order to stimulate the creation of new and exciting applications for a variety of different mobile phone operating systems. Those applications selected will then appear in the Orange internal product catalogue for a possible distribution to over 56 million customers in 16 countries. Products that have been successful to date include travel, personal productivity, vehicle tracking, salesforce automation and location-based applications.

The event took place in the South of France at the Club Med resort in Opio and ran from the 17 - 19 October. It was comprised of over seventy sessions including technical tutorials, workshops, commercial seminars and open discussions. Delegates were able to test their products in the developer centre, use the technical expertise onsite or simply talk to Orange about bringing their applications to market.

Code Camp Opio had increased emphasis on the commercial side of developing applications for Orange and delegates heard more about the mobile application and content requirements in the specific markets in which Orange operates. They also gained a greater understanding of Orange customers in terms of who they are and what they want as well as requirements for personalisation including ringtones, music, video, games and other multi-media content.
