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!
