Mobile Monday Bangalore Blog
March
Got a cool idea, but confused by the challenges on developing for Android/MeeGo/iPhone/Mojo/Symbian 4 or Samsung Bada/ VoiceXML ?
Do mobile money transfers, WebGL, CUDA, NFC based payments, augmented reality, fascinate you? Yearning to how these technologies open up more opportunities for the mobile developer?
“How do I choose the platform to develop on? Where do I start?
How do I make my application user intuitive or just blazingly fast?
How do I sell my apps in the app store? How can I monetize my free apps popularity? ”
OR
“Are you trying to augment your tech knowledge to be ready for the next big challenge at work?”
Come listen to some of the brightest minds in mobile technology who discuss some of these questions at Mobile Developer Conference. The conference will witness a gathering of 300 of the most interesting mobile developers, investors, executives, entrepreneurs, marketers for in-depth discussion, debate and power networking. It will look at which specific applications are driving the excitement and why and also look at what’s coming next. It will also explore other important questions such as :- What about the device makers stand ? How are they responding to the spanking new devices like the iPhone and NexusOne ? Where’s the ROI in mobile investments? What are the critical factors for success in 2 sided markets. Finally, what about the marketers and advertising networks? How will they adjust to the changing landscape, where carriers and device makers still exert considerable control over the mobile experience?
The Mobile Developer Conference offers unparalleled networking opportunities through interactions with the best mobile application developers, user interface designers, game developers, early adopters of mobile technology & evangelists.
