Mobile 2.0 Europe is scheduled for July 4, 2008 in Barcelona. And it is going to be an awesome mobility event, by mobile technologists/practitioners for mobile technologists/practitioners; that is why I like so much the Mobile 2.0 events; I can’t wait for Mobile 2.0 in the U.S. later this year.
(A free Mobile 2.0 Europe ticket for you; see end of this post)
Rudy De Waele, organizer of the event, ran a little Twitter contest to win a free ticket for the best definition of Mobile 2.0 in 140 characters or less, so I submitted and won:
the next generation of open mobility that maximizes the user’s experience and choice, the capabilies of the device, and the services on web
OK, it could be better, but not much you can say in 140 characters :-)
Dan Appelquist followed up saying that while he liked the above definition, it was missing a key piece, openness:
“mobile 2.0” is openness – open networks, open devices, open innovation, user choice.
And I agree with him. So, let me revisit my definition (still must fit 140 characters)…
Mobile 2.0 is:
the next gen of open mobility that maximizes the user’s experience & choice, the capabilities of the device & the services on web
A Free Ticket for You
Because I can’t attend the event in Europe I am giving away my ticket; if you would like to enter the event for free, leave a comment, or call me, or email me, telling me a bit about yourself w.r.t. mobility. If I get more than one request, I’ll select one based on the response/comment. If I get no responses, I will ask Rudy give it to some Mobilist of his choosing.
