Today is the day! 

MTV

's street journalism team will broadcast from 23 states to ThinkMTV from their Nokia N95 mobile devices using Flixwagon. Throughout the day, MTV will regularly break into programming and showcase news features on TV from the live reports.

Here at Flixwagon we will bring you some highlights of today's coverage. Bellow is David Whiteside's flix showing people getting pumped up to vote:

Ricky Cadden

and Matt Jones came up with a very cool idea of how to use Flixwagon. They announced a blogger battle! It's called Geek vs Guru - The Workout competition.

Ricky and Matt are going to use Nokia Sports Tracker Online to report distance covered and Flixwagon to broadcasttheir weigh-in. Here are the battle rules:

The Rules:

1. Participants MUST workout and post a video recap on Tuesday and Thursday on their respective blogs. You can view the videos here: 

• Matt's at NokiaGeek.com
• Ricky’s at Symbian-Guru.com.

2. Workout MUST register in Nokia Sports Tracker Online. The distance covered will be taken from there.

3. Weight on scales must be recorded in the video recap and reported in the bi-weekly post in kilograms.

Points:

One point will be awarded for each kilometer covered, as well as each kilogram lost. 5 points will be deducted for not recording a workout or for not posting a video. The winner receives the satisfaction of knowing that he is the more in-shape blogger.

Winner:

The winner gets the satisfaction of knowing he is in great shape, as well as bragging rights.

Get updated:

• Make sure you’re subscribed to both NokiaGeek’s and Symbian-Guru’s RSS feed to get the latest updates on Mondays and Wednesdays.
