Dustin,
At the beginning I couldn't come up with a name. I was thinking more along the lines of mobility, usability and interaction. Mobility to me is more of a goal. I thought it was an appropriate name, specially if you consider that we (Americans) are actually behind in this technological phenomenon and most of the people in the world refer to their cells as "mobiles." On the other hand, I'm open to suggestions.

Sure we can host it. I think mobility is bad name though. It doesn't really describe anything in particular.

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
