Google I/O and Apple WWDC

Mobile Monday Ann Arbor will hold a panel discussion about the 2 main conferences in the mobile world (just after they happen), Google I/O and Apple's WWDC.

Starting at 6:30pm, we'll have free food sponsored by Verizon - Wireless Zone. See their special offer for MoMo members in the sponsor section of this page. Please RSVP to help us estimate how much food we need. While you are enjoying the food, talk with other developers and network in the local mobile community.

Our main meeting will start at 7pm. We'll spend 15 minutes talking about the featured app and then move on to the panel discussion about the two conferences, wrapping things up around 8:30pm.

Featured App:

UMSkinCheck - UMSkinCheck is an iPhone and iPad app that encourages and facilitates skin self-examinations for the purpose of skin cancer detection, especially the early detection of melanoma. While melanoma only accounts for 2% of skin cancers, it is responsible for the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. Being familiar with your skin and your risk factors, and performing self-skin examinations are critical, because when melanoma is found and treated early, the chances for long term survival are excellent. UMSkinCheck allows users to complete a full body photographic survey so that they have a reference library of their skin to help detect new or changing lesions. The app delivers regular reminders to perform self-skin exams and gives step-by-step instructions. When a new lesion is identified, the app allows the user to photograph and compare to prior photographs, gives instructions on what to look for and when to contact a dermatologist, and sends notifications to check on lesions being tracked. The app also provides information on skin cancer, sun safety and includes a melanoma risk calculator.
