Steph Rieger on mobile phones - Vidfest 2006 RolandVideoVerite164
Blog
Steph and Bryan Rieger gave a fantastic presentation on mobile phones and devices today at Vidfest covering their remarkable learning journey, Flash Lite, why CDMA phones s*ck :-) , etc. . More proof that their expertise on mobile and mobile content is both deep and wide (don't believe me? believe mopocket!). We are lucky to them and their company, yiibu in Vancouver.
Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv)
Drupal powered Vancouver Daily Specials from your phone?
BlogI think it would be great for a learning institution like SFU, UBC, BCIT, etc. or even a mobile social/cultural thinktank like Mobile Muse to get access to the full data and produce some great prototype mobile web apps. Since I love food, I am thinking of a location aware mobile phone app that knows about nearby restaurants courtesy of Navteq's points of interest data. e.g. a location aware daily special mobile app! And of course it coud be easily powered by Drupal :-) !
