Sony Ericsson Developer World sponsored 19 award categories in the Golden Olive competition, known as the "Sony Ericsson Cup". Over 100 companies enrolled in the competition submitting nearly 200 items of content covering topics including Mobile 3D games, GPS applications, office applications, themes and mobile entertainment.
