What a great name for an exhibition no pretense at all, let’s just call it what it is… a show. Oh sure, there will be thousands of visitors and keynote addresses and many uppity ups and muckity mucks will be there. There will be exhibitions and conferences and meetings but it is a show, and that is what they call it. I’ve never attended the Symbian Smartphone Show and I don’t think I would want to if they called it the Symbian Multimedia Device Exhibition and Conference. Even though Shakespeare said a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, I say a cubic zirconia by another name would be a diamond.

 

I’m glad they are still calling it the Smartphone show since I’m going this year. Many of you will be going this year too. There are many Symbian developers in the UK I suspect I might know many of them but they will have to tell me their user name if I am to recognize them. There will be a Forum Nokia Champions event there, one of the reasons I’m going but the real reason I’m going is to just meet with you people. So if you see a one eyed pirate, tap the shoulder and say “Ron?” and let me know your name.
