A trip to London

- is always fun :-) I have just returned after going to London to attend Osney Medias Mobile Web 2.0 summit and present some of what we do and how that can apply to mobile web. And the funny stuff is - i was basically the only one actually showing something off on a real phone with live over the web software :-) I demoed our Roskilde app to a room of some 75-100 people and of course it went well - app connected fast and easily and we had a good "WOW" effect as I told the room what you could actually acheive with FL 1.1 and some good ideas :-)

Generally the conference was about Mobile Web 2.0 - a term i find highly amusing :-) I mean people are barely able to do more sophisticated stuff on their phone than text someone or make a call - but already we are seeing mobile web 2.0... I didn't even know we had seen mobile web 1.0 ...

But I did see one really cool company demonstrate a new device :-) A Win CE device with a rollable plastic screen ... That was really sweet :-) The whole device was like the sice of a phone and when you rolled the screen out it had what looked like a 5 inch screen :-) That looked like technology you could do interesting things with...

I also had the pleasure of going by Adobe and meeting with Mark - who as always shows up for work around 11 and it's just great to see that the term "corporate" does not apply to all Adobe employees :-) Am really looking forward to seeing some of the things we discussed live :-) And am really happy that it seems Adobe are in no way letting mobile get away from them :-) I just wish sometimes they would get out into the real world and see what people actually need... And that maybe they would be a little less US-centric - I mean there is actually quite a lot more FL enabled devices floating around Europe than in the US :-)

Anyways - London was fun and there are always business opportunities floating around at conferences like that - so hopefully we'll end up seeing some of that soon ...
