SCO kicks off new investment program with "The EdgeClick Developer Challenge" emphasizing the creation of mobile applications

The SCO Group, Inc. a leading provider of UNIX Software technology for distributed, embedded and network-based systems, announced a significant new worldwide investment program that rewards developers for creating innovative, new mobile applications for wireless handset devices using the company's new EdgeBuilder software developer kit (SDK).

To kickoff this new program SCO has developed "The EdgeClick Developer Challenge" where developers have the chance to win a grand prize of a new V10, 507 horsepower BMW M5 or $100,000 USD in cash. There will also be 10 additional winners that receive a significant cash prize.

SCO, Windows and Java developers are invited to attend SCO's 20th annual SCO Forum conference and participate in "The EdgeClick Developer Challenge" to create the next "killer application" or mobile service. SCO will further invest in developers who attend Forum with a $1,000 bonus after completing their EdgeBuilder SDK training that will take place during

SCO Forum. To receive this bonus, developers must register for Forum by July 15, as space is limited.

"During the last 25 years SCO has been committed to the UNIX platform and continues to reaffirm its commitment to that platform. Thousands of developers have created applications for the UNIX platform, and now we're inviting them along with Windows and Java developers to take those legacy applications and create new ones on our new EdgeClick platform," said president and CEO, The SCO Group Inc, Darl McBride.

"We have spent tremendous amounts of time and resources developing and upgrading our technology and have designed the developer investment program to make application mobilization quick, easy and profitable for developers, partners and customers." He added

The EdgeBuilder SDK provides developers with many technologies and tools for creating:
mobile device clients
application services that run on SCO's Edge Processor
