Mobile Camp London 2007 Day 2 - great people make for a great event

The show was a huge success, so many different products and services were shown. The only complaint I had was that I wanted to be in 2 or even 3 places at once. The show was very well organized and even though a lot of the presentations were last-minute it never seemed that way. There were always refreshments on hand (including breakfast and lunch) and even beers at the end of the day.

The hosts like Victor Szilagyi (pictured above) as well as Imran Ali and Christian Lindholm (pictured below) really knew what they were doing and I must give them a big thank you. (BTW on the right that is Petro Soininen, who showed me the latest Nokia handsets that are not on the market yet)

In fact even some very familiar faces were there as well... such as the very lovely Sarah Blow, founder of the London Girl Geek Dinners as well as GirlyGeekdom Blog. She even went as far as to fashion the Mobile Camp London shirts to show us just how good they can really look! :-)

The conferences were always full of interesting attendees and it was never boring.

Towards the end we even had a competition, where a group of developers showed off their latest offerings.\

Each one was unique and different dealing with many areas within Web 2.0

everyone listened closely because at the end we had to vote for our favourite solution. It wasn't an easy choice...

Once the presentations were over the developers all got into a line (looked like a police lineup) and everyone was reminded what each person (persons) presented.

 Victor made sure everyone got a fair shot as the prices were really good (iPhone and Nokia n95 as the top prices) it make me wish I had tried it. (that Nokia N95 will be mine one day)

and some more....

and the winner is.....

... ahhh the kids these days... :-) he put together a very cool application that made it easy to check TV shows online (schedules and such). Now that's a good way of showing everyone what the TV guys need to figure out... their audience. He is the proud new owner of an iPhone.
