More Details On PalmSource May 2005 DevCon
PalmSource today officially announced it will hold its annual Developers Conference May 23 -26, 2005 in San Jose, California. This year the Company has added a Mobile Summit. Early registration is now open as well.
Mobile Summit has been designed to identify and explore new worldwide business opportunities for developers, licensees, operators and industry partners, showcase state-of-the-art wireless applications for smartphones, and provide valuable training and instruction on developing for the Palm OS platform. Registration for the conference is now open here.
PalmSource will also highlight its product roadmap for feature phones and Linux, leveraging its recent acquisition of China MobileSoft (CMS), a leading Chinese mobile phone software company. Additionally, PalmSource will showcase the latest information on Palm OS(R) Cobalt and provide attendees with the opportunity to learn about and experience the most recent mobile device developments from world class Palm OS licensees.
"We are very excited to share the Company's future product and business plans on how to drive value with our current broadened product portfolio," said Larry Berkin, PalmSource director developer marketing. "We've added the Mobile Summit specifically to focus on business issues and new revenue generating opportunities for Palm OS developers."
Featuring keynotes from David Nagel, PalmSource president and CEO and other leading industry leading executives, the conference will feature detailed presentations from PalmSource licensees, operators and business partners.
Highlights of the PalmSource Mobile Summit and DevCon 2005 include:
Conveniently located at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California, registration is now open. Early Bird pricing for the three-day conference is $399, which ends April 1, representing a more than 40 percent savings off the $699 standard conference fee.

RE: Convenient?
But I'm probably not going. Yet another three days of rah-rah and empty promises like we got the last time around? And I'm paying for this? Thank you, no.
RE: Convenient?
Yeah, the presentations can get rah-rah, but will be interesting to see how they play the China MobileSoft acquisition (and what they might have to offer in the lab). Remember, China MobileSoft has a Linux-based product; by virtue of the acquisition PalmSource has diversified and now has a second, incompatible offering (or third if you count Cobalt - I don't as nothing has shipped with it yet...).
And, hey, there's always meeting up with the other developers in the bar...
PalmSource May 2005 DevCon is REALLY a CON...
1) I get a full set of Lite Cubes this time
2) I get a refund for last year's Cobalt Snowjob/Blowjob
3) I get to ask David Nagel some questions at the Stump the Experts session
4) I get to be the guest of the lovely Dianne Hackborn this year, and my wish is her command
5) David Nagel publicly admits that ONE THIRD of the current PalmSource employees will be "downsized" in the coming months

RE: Convenient?
That implies Dave is an expert at something... as someone who briefly worked for him I'm not so sure that's true...!
Hopefully no-one will roll out beach balls this year in a lame attempt to rev up the party... mind you that game with the colored paddles was kinda interesting.

Convenient?
I guess if you live in San Jose or environs it's convenient... it's a 14 hour int'l flight for me... but as always I'll be there. Hopefully they'll have more interesting stuff to announce than last year...
