Mike Jones at Userplane sent us a from-the-floor review of iDate Mobile Conference. Take it away Mike:
iDate Mobile Dating Conference is off to an impressive start. The first networking break boasted about 100 people in the exhibition hall where there are half a dozen exhibitors such as eMagMaker, Thomas Technologies, Mobillove, g8wave, and of course, Userplane - 150 attendees are expected total.
This mornings sesssions covers topics like mobile content and applications, SMS & MMS interoperability, and a presentation about wireless carriers from a representive from Kyocera. The afternoon agenda includes showcase seminars from Vox-Tel and Mobile Bridges. So far we’ve seen a handful of the major players from Date, AOL, Community Connect, etc - it will be interesting to meet the new faces.
I was not expecting 150 people. Where are the mobile carriers and the platform vendors?
