As I mentioned yesterday, I only made it to day 1 and 2 of the keynotes.  I tried my best to get there on time, but just barely missed the BART train I needed to get to Moscone on time to catch the beginning of they keynotes.  So admittedly, these aren’t the best notes I’ve ever taken, and for that I apologize.

Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia: The Year of the Mobile Computer: Mobile Computers as Personal (Mobile) Computers

• Context is forming everything.
• Social locations are the future.
• Anssi showed video of the Morph phone, currently in development, and MAN does it look SWEET!

Ellen Miller, Sunlight Foundation: A Conversation with Ellen Miller

• Information is not public unless it is online.
• Real-time availability and disclosure.
• Creating accountability within government.
• Trying to do for data what open source did for software.
• Trying to redesign government.

Kevin Lynch, Adobe Systems Incorporated

• Kevin didn’t really talk about much except to demonstrate a new product they’re working on called Flash Catalyst.  It looked REALLY cool; basically Flash meets Illustrator to easily design widgets and apps.

I was stoked to see Flash Catalyst because it appeals to my designer side, and that Morph from Nokia… consider a smart phone that can fold, wrap around your wrist, match color to your purse or outfit of the day, etc.  Awesome!
