3) Application must be built on android, blackberry, iphone or web
4) Popular votes on their application to get them into the final 6 selection group

Starting today until March 28th, developers have four weeks to develop an application leveraging Canpages’ listings database for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android or web platforms along with a video showcasing how the application works.

Voting will open to the public between March 15 and March 28, 2010 on the site. The popular vote will designate four applications, at which point Canpages’ will decide on the grand prize winner.
