Software Everywhere — David Beers on Mobile Computing

I'll be in San Francisco from May 7-12 for JavaOne. I'm doing the mobile coverage for InfoQ.com that week, which promises to be both an exhilarating and exhausting experience thanks to a heavy emphasis on Java ME by Sun this year. It took me an hour and a half to pick out the sessions I would attend since many time-slots had two or three JME presentations going on simultaneously. This at a conference that starts at 8:30 every morning and ends at close to 11pm each night. There's a helpful Java ME Guide to JavaOne on Terrence Barr's blog.

I'm showing up Monday morning and leaving Saturday afternoon so I have a little time on either end to just hang with people in the area. If you want to get together for coffee, a beer, or a meal that week, drop me a line.

No clues yet about what the "Device of Show" will be for JavaOne. Last year it was the Jasper S20 Java phone from SavaJe (the assets of which were just acquired by Sun). If I had to guess, I'd say that this year it will be some kind of Sun Spot powered robotic geek toy.
