Mobile and Devices Boot Camp at MAX Chicago
Adobe MAX 2007 is about a week away. This year in addition to the Flash Lite and Mobile sessions, there will be a special session :
The Mobile and Devices Boot Camp, on Wednesday 9AM-12:30PM.
The managers of the seven Adobe Mobile and Devices User Groups have put together the event with some great content and presenters. The idea behind the "MaD Boot Camp" is to allow anyone interested in Mobile and Flash Lite to ask questions and share their ideas. The format of this session will be pretty informal with presentations, discussions and Q/A. We think that its going to be great and we invite anyone to join us and bring your Flash Lite content to show others.
Here is the tentative agenda -
- Mobile and Devices Boot Camp Introduction
- Adobe Mobile and Devices User Group Introductions
- Content Showcases
- Tools and Integration
- Adobe MAX Awards Mobiles and Devices finalists
- Flash Lite content aggregators
- OEM: Nokia and Chumby

- Open Discussion Forum
- Q/A
Hope to see you there!

Old Misleading Google Alerts
What is it with
Google Alerts and and really old news being sent out even today?
This afternoon I received a Google Alert talking about a tie up between Macromedia and
Calsoft Labs. Reading the news got me smiling because it spoke about embedding
Flash Lite on handsets in India and the other countries. And then it got me thinking...why Macromedia and not
Adobe doing the Flash Lite deals.... Reality struck when I read the date of the news, which was sometime in October-November 2005.
This is not the first time that Google Alerts has sent an old news, its happened in the past as well. I really wish they could give the latest blog entries as it appears in their results.
