Overview
Mobile has evolved rapidly in recent years – there are more internet connections via mobile than PC. TheApple iPhone has created a new emphasis on platform specific market places such as Apple App Store and Android Market. Mobile Operators are demolishing the walled garden and are more open to commerce that is off portal than ever before. The openMIC Mobile Innovation Camp explores these developments
• We’ll arm the Barcampers with the knowledge and skills they need to execute ideas for mobile apps (Symbian, iPhone, Android, W3C widgets etc)
• Barcampers will also learn how to create mobile web applications that utilise the new openness of the operators
• Barcampers will be able to join teams to develop application ideas into a tactical plan with possible investment to develop it further as an outcome.
