So many platforms, too little time... iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, or mobile web?

Join us to discuss dilemmas when selecting smartphone platform for your application. In this event we will have two panel discussions about commercial and technical considerations when evaluating mobile platforms.
The first session will give perspective of investors and the second session will discuss developer challenges.

    Just wanted to ask if there are Android developers in the meeting that have an experience in 3D games development.
    If there are then get in touch with me (I am the guy with the very long hair).
    Thank you.

    The discussions focused on consumers, but the enterprise market is also important, and I didn't see any references for this in the panels. Consumer wise the discussions were very helpful.
