Talk Submissions
Go-to market opportunities for mobile application developers
- Author: Boaz Zilberman, co-founder and Chief Architect of fring.
- Intended audience: application developers
- Talk type: presentation
- Abstract/description
- I will be happy to present the go-to-market activities fring is doing to publish our application on the many platforms we work on - Linux, WinMobile, Symbian, Android, J2ME and iPhone. My intention is to stimulate an open discussion so we, as a community, can provide better ways to promote the platform benefits to ordinary users rather than the early adopters.

came to maemo start of 2008 with my n810, set myself a target: to make full use of the hardware and to find out if what I've been daydreaming about was possible. surprised by how far I have come :)
Attracting the Masses
- Daniel Gentleman, thoughtfix@gmail.com or thoughtfix anywhere.
- Intended audience: Developers - but other parties may be interested
- Talk type: Presentation (req: projector with VGA or DVI input for a Keynote presentation)
- Abstract/description
- Tablets have hundreds of applications now - but who are they for? If the Internet Tablets are intended to attract a more mainstream mobile market, the maemo community needs to get in touch with the needs of the target market.
- The first part of this presentation will give an overview of the most popular applications on competing platforms. This information will be collected through app store sales/download counts, direct communication with a sampling of mobile consumers, and communication with some other high-profile mobile technology journalists. This will include actual applications, connectivity options, peripherals, interface (touch/keyboard/icon/etc) preferences, and related consumer desires.
- The second part of this presentation will give an overview of the state of the existing maemo platform including commercial partners, independent contributors, and ports of more popular Linux software.
- The conclusion will analyze mobile consumer desires compared to maemo offerings and, hopefully, give developers ideas on what they can write to make the platform more appealing.
- Author bio
- The seeds of TabletBlog started in 2005 when some geek named Daniel Gentleman picked up the original Nokia 770 and started a blog. Since then, I've published thousands of bits of material reaching millions of visitors and video views. So far, I've been present for the Nokia N800 launch in CES 2007, the N810 launch at the Web2Summit, BossaConference 2008 in Recife, Brazil, and the first Maemo Summit.
