Mobile Monday Manchester?

By

On 01/11/2010

This is a shout-out to everyone in the North-West (of England, that is) who might be interested in a Mobile Monday chapter in Manchester (MoMoMa – doesn’t sound too bad, does it?).

We are looking to bring the wholesome mobile goodness that MoMo events deliver in more than 100 chapters around the world to Manchester, too. Manchester is the UK’s second-largest media hub. With the move of large parts of the BBC to their new home in MediaCityUK, this will be boosted even more. With ITV, MEN Media, Sony, Warner Games (Travelers’ Tales) and a huge number of production houses as well as mobile game studios and publishers (Chillingo, Connect 2 Media, Matmi to name a few) all up in and around the Manchester/Liverpool axis, there is huge potential! Add to that some of the most proactive universities and educational institutions in the space (in Liverpool, Manchester and up in Lancashire), we have too much talent to let it go wasted. Let us then take up the challenge and make it happen!

Go, my weathered Northeners, let’s show them :)!

Making Money on Android (slides) – Droidcon London 2010

By

On 30/10/2010

In Events, Slides

This week, I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to speak to the Android developer community at the fabulous Droidcon London.

The following are the slides to my talk on “Making Money on Android” in which I focus on the necessity to tackle the challenge to engage users at a time and in a place that a developer can actually control, namely in the game or app itself. Scoreloop provides cool tools for this, and its virtual currency and virtual goods solutions allow developers then to capitalise on that.

The good folks from WIPJam will run one of their famous Un-Panels, too!

Come over and say hi; it’ll be worthwhile!

In Events

Next week, on 15 October 2010, there will be the fantastic opportunity to bask in the glory of Oxford University and attend what many say is one of THE outstanding conferences in the mobile space, namely the University of Oxford’s Mobile Apps and Technologies Conference 2010.

I will be speaking as will James Elles, MEP and folks from Vodafone, IBM, Edelman and many more, including some of the most eminent analysts and strategists of the mobile space. The conference prides itself that it does not deliver any sales pitches, and it is not even very expensive!

So come along and join us for a great day of learning, discussing and networking.
