MidMoves in Munich for #MDC09

Posted on 29 October 2009 by



Mobile Dev Camp hits Munich on Saturday and thanks to Intel’s ‘Insider’ program I’ve been invited down to join in with the fun. MDC will be a day where mobile developers get the chance to talk about their favorite subjects, to present ideas and to meet others in the ‘ecosystem.’ Intel will be there along with Elektrobit, Daisho Blacksmith and Greenrobot along with around 100 developer-minded individuals. If it’s anything like MDC in Amsterdam, it will be a great day of learning and sharing.

segmentationI’ll be taking 13 mobile devices (it’s Halloween!) with me ranging from Series 40 through to Android, Maemo, Moblin and Windows and I’ll be offering a talk about mobile platforms and segmentation using the diagram on the right.

  • Can a smartphone do everything? If not, what other devices are able to take the load in the mobile space?
  • Is a 4” screen to big as an all-day device. Would you rather carry a small phone and a secondary (or tertiary) device?
  • What’s the smallest size that works as a mobile desktop?
  • How do battery life requirements affect the size of a device?
  • How small can an Intel Moorestown / Medfield device be?

I’ll also give an update on Moorestown and the important features that bring it into the ‘all-day-on’ category. Attendees will also get a chance to have hands-on with devices like the Viliv S5, X70 and S7 along with the Archos Android Tablet and Nokia N900. I also have some goodies to give away which should secure at least a few attendees to my talk. The talk will be in ‘Denglisch’ so that should be a laugh too. Add the fact that I’ll probably be sampling the local beer in the Hotel Bauer (join me for a chance to play with some devices, 1900 in the Bar) on the night before and we’re set up for an interesting session! Hope to see you there.

I’ll try and knock up a video later showing all the devices I’ve got. I’ll also get some content out during the Friday and Saturday. (What else am I going to do on the 12-hour return train journey!)

If you want to go and haven’t registered, you still have time to sign-up here.
