Mobius 2006 Boston Wrap Up
Posted by Mike Temporale in "THOUGHT" @ 12:30 PM
The Mobius Boston event had some similar presentations (namely Windows Vista and the Windows Mobile Update) as the Mobius Thailand event that Jason attended. As such, I won�t bore you by talking about the same things that Jason has already covered in his posts (which can be found here and here).
Mobius Boston kicked off on the Tuesday night with a meet and great in the hotel�s restaurant. It was a great chance to get to know some of the new faces that are attending this years conference. It was also a great chance to snap some pictures of the latest and greatest devices. You might have caught my post last week about Measuring up the Smartphone QWERTY Devices. These pictures where snapped at the Mobius meet and greet event. I�ve managed to grab a couple more pictures comparing the S620 and the i320. The amazing Derek Synder was more than happy to pass around his Excalibur for people to photograph and test out. Arne Hess from the::unwired brought along his HTC Breeze. I will say, it is less ugly in person than it is in pictures. But it�s certainly not as nice to look at as the new i-mate SPL. I also spent some time playing with the 2 different Star Trek Smartphones. Cingular's version has the extended battery and the 128MB memory. Because of this, there is a small bulge on the device. Compared to the i-mate's version, you almost wouldn't notice it. Smart move on Cingular's part to go the with the larger battery.
