Mobile Messaging 2.0 at CTIA IT & Entertainment
by Debi Jones
A few of the MM2.0 bloggers, Ewan Spence, Paul Ruppert and myself, are attending CTIA next week. We’ll be reporting on a number of developments and applications around messaging: Participation TV, multi modal messaging (voice, video, text), mobile payments via SMS, along with mobile marketing and advertising, are all potential topics.
There are some other areas that will no doubt be of interest to MM2.0 readers. Personal navigation, for example, might not be a killer application, but it’s at a minimum the top manslaughter application in the US mobile data market; more iPhone - we need more iPhone; and touch screens for all. The rise of touch screens is great news for haptics technology companies like Immersion, and M2M (machine-to-machine) messaging offers a new and lucrative application area. So there will be much to see, touch and hear. Podcasts will be a continuing component of our coverage for the event, the evening parties and a couple of press only demos. Photos? Oh yes, there will be lots of photos from Ewan, Paul and me.

Also, if you’re a reader of the blog, I’d love to meet you. Leave a comment here and we can meet at one of the many planned events or let’s do an impromptu blog dinner Sunday evening. My flight arrives Sunday afternoon in SF and will be attending the MoCo News mixer Monday evening. There are plenty of options for connecting.
