PANEL
Monetizing Mobile Apps
Apple’s App Store: 1 billion served and rising. The Appstore has created a very accessible revenue generation model but we must explore other approaches that app publishers can take. With success there comes cost: Could we see tectonic shifts in mobile platforms? What are the best choices for entrepreneurs and publishers? This panel maps the mobile revenue landscape by bringing differing viewpoints from entrepreneurs who have monetized their apps.
Moderated by:Raven Zachary – President, Small Society
Speakers:Mark Curtis – CEO, Flirtomatic

Location: Context is Money
Social applications account for 40 percent of mobile data usage, and we have the tools to bring location-awareness to those apps. So, why hasn’t the location services business arrived with a bang? This panel delves into understanding how “Context” will unlock the profits and how we will create better services that truly make sense of location as a component.

The Netbooks and Ultraportable Boom

From this boom we can expect to see new propositions to meet the unmet needs of the mobile masses. A mix of product managers and experts will identify needs that are currently unmet, potential price points, and what new species of services and devices will emerge. The carriers are banking on this market for new revenue streams and opportunities. So should you.

PANEL
Innovation through Observation and Design
Some of the best products and designs of the last 10 years have been derived from the study of human behavior. Landmark companies like Apple, IDEO and Intel have used ethnographic studies to identify what we (as consumers) actually do, not just what we say we do. The insights are astonishing and have fueled the creation of great products and businesses. In this panel we assemble some of the most revered ethnographers, interaction designers and behavioral scientists to outline some of their recent insights about how we live and work with the mobile Internet and ask them where there are good opportunities for innovative products to appear.
