Mobile Forum Meeting: Mobile Entertainment
Jul 15, 2009, 08:30am - 01:30pm
Microsoft,
Mountain View,
California,
USA
Mobile Entertainment (ME), a "promising" market for years, has traditionally failed to deliver. Yet at this juncture, it seems to finally have the foundation needed to truly advance: Powerful handsets, better UI, faster networks with more capacity, and the related growth of online web media all create the perfect storm for mobile delivery of media. Certain devices and consumer segments have already demonstrated a nascent demand for entertainment devices, applications, and content.
In the Telecom Council's ME meeting, we will look at the future of ME, examine the likely business models, and discuss the ever-relevant issues of open, ownership, dumb pipes, and control.

Partner Event: MobileBeat 2009
Jul 16, 2009, 08:00am - 08:00pm
Parc 55 Hotel,
San Francisco,
CA,
USA
The excitement around mobile applications - be it an iFart app, the Skype app or March Madness for the iPhone - is having a major impact on our economy, and our way of life. The iPhone sparked a revolution - a realization that a smart user interface, a decent mobile browser, and compelling applications can create an incredibly useful and enjoyable experience. MobileBeat 2009 will discuss the future of these apps and services in a post-AppStore world. 400 of the most interesting mobile applications developers, influential investors, mobile industry executives, entrepreneurs, mobile marketers, press and analysts will gather for a day of in-depth discussion, debate and power networking. MobileBeat 2009, along with Co-Host Qualcomm and Platinum Sponsor Velti, will explore the ramifications of this revolution: which specific applications are driving the excitement and why and the event will look at what's coming next. Even as most industry players, from device makers to carriers, are scrambling to throw up their own application stores to sell applications directly to consumers, the real gold in mobile is moving beyond the app store: It's in monetizing the Web experience that the smartphones are increasingly enabling.
Also featured this year is a look at the top start-ups battling on the cutting edge of mobile applications and services. 14 finalists will be featured on stage to present some of the most exciting new ideas in mobile. To apply, visit http://www.mobilebeat2009.com/startup-competition/
