Photo by Ben Kuznicki. ""Sunny day in happy valley with remains of an unseasonable snowfall."Photo by Whitney Marquille Re. Sent in by her mother. "My freshman daughter, (Whitney Marquille Re), was so excited with the first snowfall this year at University Park Campus. She took the pic on her cell and passed it on to all her family members in southern PA. The students were scarce that day… wonder why… J It’s certainly a beautiful picture capturing the peacefulness and purity of that first snowfall, a taste of what’s to come as the season progresses."Photo by Mallory Liebhaber. "Nittany Lion Jack-O-Lantern."Photo by Liz Remus. "I took this photo on my iPhone upstairs in Henderson South overlooking the Hub Lawn. I used the app Jot to crop it. I choose this photo to capture the Penn State spirit because of the gorgeous colors. The grass is still green and inviting and yet the weather is still warm enough to take a nap or throw a ball. The orange and red cherry trees are full of fruit reminding me that we are so lucky here in Happy Valley while still capturing the fall colors."Photo by Jenn Peghar. "Attached is a picture of Beaver Stadium during Football Eve. Kinda marks the beginning of the greatest thing about fall at PSU =)"Photo by Andrea Goodson. "This was taken at about 6AM Saturday, October 17th during the 'Fall Snowstorm '09' before the Minnesota game."Photo by Allison Berger.

"This photo was taken last week near the Schreyer Garden facing towards the HUB. A female student is reading on the far bench under the tree. The scenery looks very peaceful to me, and it reminds me of fall."Photo by Kate Dempsey. "OK, here's my pic. Fall at PSU = leaves in every color and studying!

AT&T is sponsoring a pretty cool competition in which entrants can win $10,000 cash in scholarship money for creating a mobile device application. Teams of up to four people can enter a custom-built application for the purpose of e-learning. The rules state that the “innovating e-learning mobile app” should be functional across multiple platforms. Submissions are due by September 15, 2010 and so far there are only ten teams signed up. So my question for you is:
If you could develop a mobile device application, what would it do?
