iPhone & Smartphone Developers & Publishers - London - August 11th Meetup
No location was chosen
In addition to all the usual iPhone chitchat, our August 11th Meetup will go beyond Apple to address a question of interest to every developer and publisher:
“What about all those other mobile phones out there?”
Speaker line-up
We’ll be joined by Patrick Mork, VP of marketing for GetJar.com, the world’s most popular mobile application distribution and developer community (a mega retailer of ringtones, games and video content, to you and me).
Getjar.com has over 200,000 developer and beta-tester accounts and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about what users want from their mobile entertainment. Patrick will talk us through Getjar’s business and offering some useful tips on its popular search terms. If we’re lucky he might even tell us about some popular search terms that are currently overlooked by Getjar's developers and publishers…
We’ll also welcome Sanjeet Matharu from Vodafone. Sanjeet is Principal Manager for Developer Marketing and is working on Vodafone’s widget program. He’ll present the case for making Voda-widget versions of iPhone apps. He’ll also talk about Vodafone’s “Summer of Widgets” competition.
We're limited to 55 places only, and they go fast so get your "Yes" RSVPs in quick.
Hope to see you on the 11th!
Jason
p.s. Thanks to our friends at Mobile Monday for providing the inspiration for this month’s speakers, and congrats to Meetup members Malcolm Barclay, Jason Swain and Kostas Eleftheriou for their super coverage in today’s edition of “The London Paper” freesheet.

Martin SpenceleyPretty good and interesting meeting. However the Vodafone talk was so full of holes it didn't persuade me one bit to port (read: rewrite) my App for Vodafones marketplace.
-
Noel ByrneBoth speakers were engaging and gave insight into the behavior of their respective mobile audiences (which are HUGE)… particularly interesting as they were coming from a non-iPhone perspective (Vodafone / getjar.com). Re: AJ’s comment… a tiny slice of Vodafone / getjar action would be life-changing for most people, Apple aren’t the only party in town;O)

Sally TicknerReally enjoyed the meeting. I came up from Portsmouth and wasn't dispappointed.
Jason Dunne was a great organiser.
-
Andrew JackmanGood, but vodafone and getjar looked so desperate to catch up to apple. Their pitches didn't convince me to consider development for platforms apart from the app store for now. Also, looking forward to a more comfortable location next time. It was a friendly atmosphere, and I met a couple of interesting people.

Well organised and a smart crowd with some good questions for me! Thanks for organising Jason.
By the way, if you fancy trying to knock up some widgets and win a netbook, why not come along to our UK devcamp?
