Today the Nokia Create contest added a great new twist for Windows Phone app developers with a mission dedicated to the idea of “Doing Good”. In partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), developers are invited to create new apps that will make the lives of people with low vision easier; or update their existing apps to make them more accessible in general.

For example, developers might submit apps like a compass that gives vibration feedback or perhaps more complex examples that provide audio descriptions of the view from the Nokia Lumia camera. The apps submitted can fit within any of the eight current Nokia Create contest categories.

Updates needed to make apps more accessible to everyone are usually not major. Small things like contrast and font sizes can make a big difference, not just for partially sighted people.

Watch this video for inspiration about ideas for apps that can be submitted to this mission:

Besides Nokia, the RNIB will also be serving as judges for the best apps in the Do Good mission.

Just like the other missions in Nokia Create, there will be one winner and nine runners up in the Do Good mission. In addition to other prizes already noted in the contest which includes a trip to Mobile World Congress 2014, the winner of this mission will also receive an expense-paid trip for two people to the 29th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference in San Diego, California, where the winning app will be showcased. Additionally, the winner and runners up will receive a free UX consultation to help create the best possible app experience for their users.

Any apps submitted to the Do Good portion of Nokia Create must be published to the Windows Phone Store by December 15, 2013.

Of course, this is not the first time that Nokia Developer has challenged developers with a “Do Good” theme. They hosted ahackathon event earlier this year to generate useful new apps for people and the planet.

Two new mini missions added

In addition to the new philanthropic mission, the Nokia Create contest is opening two more of its six mini missions – one for Maps & Places (using the Windows Phone API powered by HERE), and the other using Nokia Music. These mini missions are specifically to encourage developers to update their existing Windows Phone apps with new features related to the category. Entries for these new mini missions must be in the Windows Phone Store by October 31, 2013.

Complete rules and details about Nokia Create, including the new Do Good mission, are available from Nokia Developer.

Apple has previously enjoyed kicking Microsoft down with the famous Mac versus PC advertisement campaign. It was a giggle to see Apple attempting to be trendy against Microsoft's "boring" OS and PCs in general. Now it's Microsoft's turn to hit back and the company is continuing its Apple-bashing run with the above advert, putting the Surface RT against the popular iPad.

Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 are both great platforms. While they’re made by Microsoft, there are times you might feel like two different companies built them. They might look the same, but there are features from each you wish the other had. Case in point, you can search for apps on Windows Phone using your web browser, but you can’t do that for Windows 8 apps. At least you couldn’t do that yesterday, now you can.

Microsoft appears to either be on a roll or the marketing department knows the weekend is near, thus they're attempting to go on an all-out attack. This latest commercial, published on the WindowsVideosYouTube channel, addresses the small tablet competition - namely, the iPad Mini. Taking the Acer Iconia W3 to the ring, the video shows off some of the cool features a tablet sports when running Windows 8.

If you have yourself a Surface RT or Surface Pro you’re going to be getting some updates today. The second Tuesday of each month is when Microsoft releases security patches on what is known as Patch Tuesday. Today is that day and with those security patches you’ll also be getting some firmware updates for your Surface RT and Pro. Let’s check it out.

Mozilla is looking to launch Firefox on Windows 8 with a Modern UI (Metro to you and I). Think of Internet Explorer, but a browser made by Mozilla and you get the idea. If you're a huge fan of the popular web browser and have been using the desktop version (or own a Windows RT tablet), fear not as you'll soon be able to enjoy all the features and functionality with Microsoft's simple look and feel. ETA? December 10th.

Today Microsoft officially announced that Windows 8.1 will be arriving on October 17th at 4:00am Redmond time. The highly anticipated update for the company’s latest operating system will begin rolling out worldwide as a completely free update for Windows 8 customers.
