Here are my Mobile 2.0 slides of the keynote I did last Friday in London at the Over The Air event, a great initiative by Daniel Appelquist and Ian Forrester. Over the Air was organised by Mobile Monday London, hosted by Imperial College and supported by the BBC.

Kudos to the whole team who made this happen, this was more than just a developers’ conference, more than just a workshop or a barcamp… It was a 48 hours of mobile and wireless development experiment bringing together some +400 developers and mobile industry experts with great sessions on various industry related topics… Lots of great people and ideas gathered during these 2 days. Check the Over The Air website to view the presentations from other keynotes and sessions.

Here’s my updated overview presentation on Mobile 2.0 I did last week in Brussels at the Plugg Conference, a great initiative by Robin Wauters. The conference included a Start-Ups Rally won by Viewdle.

I saw many people taking pictures during the presentation :D I you’re one of them, and if you want to share them just ping me if you have some good ones, I’ll be happy to link them and/or share them with my readers.

NOTE: As for the startups represented here, they are only some of the ones I am following. This is not intented as a complete overview but a representation and moment in time. If you’re not included in this presentation you might be in my next one :) Just ping me if I missed you somehow.

Some bloggers reported already (in Dutch) on my presentation:

Read/WriteWebKudos to Richard MacManus who offered me his space today in an idea to write some articles around the Mobile 2.0 subject to intend bridge the web 2.0 and mobile 2.0 communities. I’m kicking-off a mini-series of posts on the topic of Mobile 2.0, which will be explored more in detail on Read/WriteWeb this week.

“On the eve of Le Web 3 in Paris - and one month after the Web 2.0 Summit concluded - it seems like an appropriate time to explore the world of the mobile Web, a.k.a. mobile 2.0. There has been a lot of discussion lately on this topic, a good deal of it inspired by the mobile 2.0 event - a one-day event held on 6 November 2006, organized by Daniel Appelquist and Mike Rowehl….”

Continue reading “Understanding Mobile 2.0“, in which I tried to give an overview of what I currently understand as Mobile 2.0 and I included some links to essential writing done on the topic by fellow mobilist bloggers.

People get ready, the mobile 2.0 train is definately on the rails now…

Mike Rowehl and Vodafone’s Daniel Appelquist (both involved in their local MobileMonday chapters) are organising a Mobile 2.0 event (just before the web 2.0 event) in San Francisco on November 6.

mobile2.0 event

Though I am using heavily (and have been writing on) mobile (web) 2.0- associated apps and mobile podcasting, I haven’t used the term ‘mobile2.0′ a lot since I believe accessing the web from a mobile is part of web2.0 core = platform connected to any device, anytime, anywhere - however the real power of the mobile phone lies in the fact that the mobile has an incredible high penetration rate nearly everywhere - and is growing tremendously in area’s where it hasn’t reach it’s full penetration yet - and yet it’s going to be THE primary device that people will use to connect to web 2.0 services (or whatever we’re going to name it in a couple of years).

Many are probably seeing the potential but few (Ajit, Carlo, Charlie, Kelly, Oliver, Russell, and a few others…) have been writing insightfull ‘food for thought’ on this subject. So, I’m am glad the subject is finally hitting the event floors for real discussion with mobile value chain companies and players.

A great list of speakers will attend the mobile2.0 event, great job and initiative Mike and Dan! Personally, I would add some operators in the mix, that’s the real discussion I’m waiting for… Meanwhile walking the mobile walk - apart from using your 3G data card flat rate for mobile browsing, is still costing pocket loads of money for the enthusiast end-users.

For mobile2.0 to become a mobile user-driven media, and for mobile users to start accessing these web 2.0 services from their cell phones, they’re going to need flat rates from their operator or carrier. Here’s a taste of what it’s like accessing web 2.0 services on a mobile now… too bad my operator makes or breaks the connection (and charges per connection made) every time I…

  • Check or send email from my mobile
  • Check a (mobile) web page(s)
  • Subscribe or update feed(s)
  • Download or update a client application
  • Upload a picture to Shozu, Flickr, YouTube or other services
  • Subscribe, update or download a podcast
  • Connect to consult my interactive Visual Radio service
  • Trying out new mobile services

please fill-in accordingly if you use more services yourself…

… With the current operator offerings being unserved for mobile2.0 users like me (at least in Europe), I started to bypass the operator network wherever I can, what about you?
