IDF San Francisco starts tomorrow.

Posted on 17 September 2007 by Chippy



Intel’s Ultra Mobility group will be finalizing their presentations today for the start of the Intel Developers forum in San Francisco tomorrow. The forum runs for 3 days and day 2 is the one we need to keep an eye on. Both keynote speeches on Day 2 are Ultra Mobile focused with David (Dadi) Perlmutter and Anand Chandrasekher on stage.

Mobility: Breaking the Barriers of Mobility
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
8:00 a.m.–8:45 a.m.

Ultra Mobility: Unleashing the Internet Experience
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
8:45 a.m.–9:25 a.m.

But there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes. I’ve scanned through the tracks and sessions list and its going to be pretty busy. I’m actually pretty annoyed at myself for not signing up because with people like Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, and Len Kawell, Ubuntu consultant and creator of the Pepper desktop, there giving presentations and talks, you know its going to be big.

The full catalogue of events is here. Scroll down and look for the session ID’s starting with ‘UM’

I expect we’ll get an update on Menlow, Silverthorn, Pulsbo and the graphic gpu for next years platform, well see one or more Menlow demonstrators and we’ll get an update on Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded (UME.) I guess we’ll also see the HTC Shift and possibly the Amtek U560 which must be nearing launch. Maybe we finally get to hear about a Benq device too. No doubt there will be a ton of statistics and marketing talk to filter through but I love cutting through all that and trying to get to the meat. I’m ready for a good week of hard UMPC work!
