Id be interested in this and helping out (if possible) .. I think this is a great idea because it's obvious that more and more devices are becoming WiFi/EDGE/3G enabled and it would be cool to show off what some phones can and can't do in a SIG. (Although I sometimes hate those meetings that turn into the constant sales pitch which tend to happen a lot, ehh then again if anyone needs a VPN salesman look me up! :-))
Im also personally interested in the J2ME movement (items like using SMS for backchannel stuff), also security stuff like Bluesnarfing from AI Digital needs to be demoed for sure. Can we start an nycwireless-mobile list? (seems like a lot of people from the meeting are trying all different vendor services that would be cool to hear about) - Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jose Marinez Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 8:13 PM To: Ben N.Serebin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [nycwireless] Mobility SIG Hi Ben, NYCWireless members: I would like to know what the procedure will be to make the Mobility SIG I spoke about yesterday in the meeting "official" within the NYCWireless organization and website? The purpose of the SIG will be to introduce the members to the current advances in mobility (specifically smartphones) and how these technologies are complementary to WLAN technologies in place today. I would like to be able to present on some of topics and to be able to bring to the meetings individuals from the main smartphone manufacturers that I have relationships with (Nokia, Samsung, PalmOne) as well as some developers, like the guys from Dodgeball.com. Like I said yesterday, I believe this SIG will create a lot of content (conversations, comments, questions, etc.) and I'm not sure if you want to host it at NYCWireless.net. I may be able to get a TypePad account from the guys at Six Apart specifically for the SIG and maybe have a link to it from NYCWireless.net similar to what you have on the Social Impact group. To those interested to know what some people do with these smartphones take a look at http://www.bodamer.com/albert/ and to get an idea of the social effect that some of these devices are having go to http://www.thenewatlantis.com/archive/6/rosen.htm Regards, Jose Marinez www.jmarinez.blogspot.com -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
