Fountain Valley, CA -- September 14, 2011 -- Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced it is holding a contest for game designers that incorporates the recently released Wi-Drive™ portable, wireless storage solution for Apple iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch® devices. The contest is open to Canadian residents only and is void in Quebec. The grand prize is a 64GB iPad2 with 32GB Wi-Drive, plus promotion of the game globally.
Kingston® seeks game designers between now and October 31, 2011 to weave in elements of Wi-Drive’s features and functionality. Contestants are asked to develop a game idea and use any tools necessary such as software or online game-creation services. To enter, contestants need to have the game hosted on a Web site of their choice and then follow the steps outlined on the Kingston’s Canada Facebook page.
Wi-Drive allows users to stream videos, access music or share files with other Apple device owners. The distinctively designed, pocket-sized Wi-Drive utilizes Flash-based technology to store data from USB-compatible PCs. Files on Apple devices are easily retrieved via Wi-Drive’s built-in wireless transmitter, eliminating the need for cables or an Internet connection. Three users can simultaneously use different file types from a single Wi-Drive without any performance disruption.
A total of 11 prizes will be given out ― six for game creation and five for game ideas. The game ideas must be under 200 words and must describe the main objective of your game. The grand prize is a 64GB iPad2 with a 32GB Wi-Drive, and the second-prize winner receives a 16GB iPad2 with 16GB Wi-Drive. Other prizes include Wi-Drive devices, Kingston SSDNow solid-state drives, and HyperX® memory.
