Mobile 2.0 Silicon Valley Oct 15th and 16th

Posted on by

Registration is now open for my favorite mobile event, Mobile 2.0. It’s an intimate, fast paced conference that always seems to attract the top people in mobile both as speakers and as attendees. And you gotta love Mobile 2.0’s “No-Powerpoint” rule. The first two Mobile 2.0 events in San Francisco were outstanding and with the same able team of Daniel Appelquist (Vodafone), Gregory Gorman (Tertius), Mike Rowehl (Miso Mob and Mobile Monday), Peter Vesterbacka (Some Bazaar and Mobile Monday) and … Continue reading →

Mobilize 09 – Moto and INQ With Android, Oh Boy!

Posted on by

I attended yesterday’s Mobilize conference in San Fransisco and did a quick post about Motorola’s big announcement,  the Cliq with MOTOBLUR.  I wanted to follow up with a little bit more about the conference and my analysis about why I think Android is significant for mobile web browsing and mobile web services. Mobilize was very well done.  Kudos to Om and his staff and sponsors for sweating the details and making Mobilize a good experience for everyone.  Things like good … Continue reading →

Mobile 2.0 Barcelona June 18-19

Posted on by

My favorite mobile conference, Mobile 2.0 is happening  in Barcelona next month, June 18-19.  I’ve been to all three of the Mobile 2.0 events in San Francisco and have been very impressed with quality of the speakers, panels and with the fast moving, “no PowerPoints” format. This is the second European Mobile 2.0. I have no budget for travel so I wasn’t able to make it to the first one last year, but it was bigger and by some accounts … Continue reading →

CES Impressions – Palm, Nokia, Skype

Posted on by

I’m not actually AT CES but I’ve been following it on the blogosphere.  The big mobile announcement is of course the Palm Pre.  It’s the first device running the  long awaited (and twice delayed) Linux based, next generation Palm platform, which is called WebOS rather than Nova.  Very iPhonesque in appearance,  but with a slide out QWERY keyboard, the Pre features a multi-touch UI.  The few people who’ve been allowed to play with it have  found the user experience be … Continue reading →

Open Source Symbian and N97 Hands-On

Posted on by

Yesterday after the Symbian Partners Event, I was invited to attend a “Bloggers Dinner”.  When I got an email saying dinner would be at the Carnelian Room I knew that my attire of Mobile Camp tee shirt and jeans wasn’t going to cut it.  Quick change to khakis and a collared shirt and I was off. The Carnelian Room was a gas.  Best known for its view, it’s at the top of the 555 California tower, the city’s second tallest … Continue reading →
