If you are attending the LinuxWorld in San Francisco on August 6-9 (and interested in porting an open source application to smartphones), it might make sense to pay a visit to Forum Nokia Open Source event on August 9th organized in Nokia San Francisco offices quite near to...
I quickly dropped in to listen to the VoIP Deep Dive afternoon in our Mountain View office. The room was packed. We had almost 50 people attending. Most of the attendees were from small VoIP companies.
I stayed for long enough (not too long, as only standing room was left for me) to see a...
Missed this announcement comptelely last week. Nuance, which I mainly have considered as speech recognition solution provider, has acquired Tegic (the maker of T9 text input) from AOL.
The press relase states, that "the acquisition sets the stage for a new mobile user interface that...
I thought that I had pretty much heard of all the geek events in Silicon Valley after living here for a few years and being quite active in dropping in to various events. Turns out there are still quite a few gathering I know nothing about.
Like SuperHappyDevHouse , which is a...
I thought that someone might have as bad memory as I do, and hence also others might have forgotten to check the PDFs of the JavaOne 2007 technical sessions and BOFs ( direct link to Java ME topics ). The slides are now online (and have likely been online already for some weeks - please no...
I promise, the last blog post for JavaOne2007...
Compared to last year, mobility was more prominent in JavaOne 2007, but still way smaller than for example Web 2.0 and AJAX. Those topics were dominating the JavaOne already last year, so nothing has really changed in one year....
Now, only because I came in a couple of minutes late to listen to the talk on static and dynamic analysis of code, I do not know the name of my new idol. Really. This guy from Sun (either Aleksandr Kuzmin or Mikhail Davidov) showed that he knows everything about the code analysis both...
I decided to attend the Thursday evening's JSR-226 talk by after seeing the nice demos created with SVG during the talks on previous days. And I have to admit it was a excellent overview of SVG in general and also how to use JSR-226 on mobile phones. Thank you Aastha and Venkatesh for a...
The most important piece of information from the Wednesday's phoneME development session: The correct pronunciation of phoneME. (No, not "phone-me" but something along "foh-neh-mee", incorrect phonetic transcription by the author).
But seriously speaking, there...
The couple of blog entries I have so far written (and will still write for the next few days) from JavaOne has been shamelessly written from mobile mobile perspective. It is important to remember that the event is still far more Java EE, and Java SE event, than event for mobile developers. Don't...
The device fragmentation technical session turned out to be... well... interesting. The Sun and Orange representatives had a presentation prepared, but the presentation was quickly derailed by frequent developer comments. As there was a Q&A time reserved in the end, it would have been proper...
We should be expecting some cool Open Source announcements by Sun in Tuesday's JavaOne keynote. Or at least this is the feeling I am getting during the CommunityOne presentations in San Francisco today. This might be an understatement as one of the presenters was pretty particular that...
JavaOne is once again organized in San Francisco next week (May 8-11). Nokia will have a booth in the expo floor and we will be demoing various Java technologies in there (as well as during a number of mobile Java talks by Nokia personnel). I'll be there, can I expect to meet there...
Our Rio de Janeiro TechDay was almost too much of a success. We totally underestimated the number of people showing up. Which lead to very crowded event. Some people were forced to stand for a couple of sessions until we got enough chairs to the room. If anyone in the audience is reading this:...
Two days of technology and business presentations in Sao Paulo is over. On Thursday I will captivate the audience in Rio de Janeiro! (Am I thinking too much of my presentation skills??? Likely yes :-)
About 150 people attended the event (maybe even some more, I am not...
