There has been a lot of talk about mobile web 2.0 lately and my initial impressions were that this was just another term coined by conference organizers.
Attending overtheair last weekend changed my view of this. The mobile web is real and what makes it exciting this time around is the inclusion of the millions [...]
Over the Air takes place in London starting tomorrow.
This promises to be the most fun conference I have ever attended (beside our regular MoMo Annual Summits). I am biased since I helped with some of the organizing. :)
