The Future of Mobile (Sponsored by Blackberry)

There’s no question the mobile market is at an all time high. Companies are now shifting their marketing and development efforts to ensuring they have a strong mobile strategy, but have we only scratched the surface?

As part of our Tech in Motion mobile summer series we have invited a panel of mobile developers to discuss what the future holds for all things mobile.
