Updated SmugSync
While awaiting word on winners, I've made a slight update to SmugSync. I've fixed an issue with uploading/syncing and modified to support latest AIR runtime (now Beta 3) - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html.
The previous version (0.2), posted before cut-off time, is still available from link.

Is there any way you will release the actual names of the winner?I assume that you have picked a winner by now considering that the contest ended almost a quarter ago.Don

I'm only interested in the list of winners if my name is on it... otherwise I will just get depressed :cry
If regular contests are going to be something used to inspire development... I think it would be helpful to speed up getting results for a contest like this.
A 3 month delay on determining a winner on a 1 month contest seems a little lopsided. I seems to cut a lot of the fun out of competing for a prize.

I have to agree.
I assume I'm not the only one that spent special effort to get my stuff done by the date required. I'm sure the original goal of the contest (To hammer at 1.2.1) was done.

No you're not the only one. I hadn't ever done any development interfacing with SmugMug and used the contest as an oportunity to inspire me to code and learn. I spent just about three weeks of evenings and parts of my weekend trying to get the program deployed for the deadline. I had some steep learning curves to overcome due to my lack of experience with the technologies used, and that made the project take a whole lot longer, but I did get it done.
I was able to learn a lot in different areas like XML, web services, GUI interface coding, and cross platform applications development which I hadn't previously had a good case to learn with. From what I was able to learn, I thought the project was worth the extra effort, but the driving factor for putting that effort into SmugMug has lost some steam.
Since October I have been busy with other side projects, and haven't taken the time to do any more work on my sync program. I'm still looking for feedback on suggestions on SyncMug... what people like, what they would like changed or added, or if there is some problem that prevents them from getting any benefit from it. I put a lot of work into it, and I want it to be used. I would likely put more work into it if someone would just ask.

G'day Gareth,
It's been a busy few weeks here at SmugMug, with the release of SmugMungous Video and Cards.... plus the arrival of Don's latest child.
It's currently still undecided
Cheers,

Too late for winning an iPhone
I started a seperate thread for this one:

When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
in two billion years,
all I can think is:
"Will that be on a Monday?"
