Yes, this was worthless.  I wasn't interested in a list of all talks
that were at 11:00 and then a different one for those who were listed
at 11:15 -- the important thing was to know that if you were in the
talk at 11:00 you couldn't be at the talk at 11:15, so what you need
is a nice chart that shows precisely how the talks overlap.

I asked about that at PyCon, and was told (by a PyCon organiser -- I
didn't email the app people myself) that they didn't want to
use displays that you had to zoom to use.

It was very frustrating, since another problem that I, and other Samsung
Android users had was that when we were in a heavily populated area, we
lost internet connectivity.  Which meant I couldn't get the schedule in the
browser window, either.
