Off to Mobile 2.0 Conference

by Rudy De Waele on October 12, 2007 · 1 Comment

I’m off to San Francisco for a week to attend the 2nd Mobile 2.0 conference, a one-day event on October 15th focusing on the Mobile Web and Disruptive Mobile Innovation, presented by Mobile Monday and The Open Group.

As part of the organizing committee, it has been really interesting putting the program together, check the speaker list for details. I’m really looking forward to the event and to meet many great people working in this area of innovation.

Below the agenda of the event, I’ll be around during the week for the Web 2.0 Summit too, anyone who would like to catch up with me, drop me a line.

Hi rudy,

It’s been a year since we last chatted briefly… thought you might want to check out this…. “TWUIKI Mobile Widgets”, a nifty application that brings the “widget-style”, bite-sized content to your small screen… It mimics what Apple Widget Dashboard, Konfabulator (Yahoo Widgets), Vista Gadgets on your desktop. Have a look at the video.
