Leading organisations in smart phones and netbooks will come together to capitalise on relevant analysis and focus on the dramatic growth of mobility and how it’s shaking up the industry.
Canalys is uniquely placed to conduct such an event with its two traditional sets of clients and cover topics such as:
• Is this the end for ‘Wintel’? Can ‘Quandroid’ make inroads? This panel will explore the future of mobility and which platforms and user interfaces will dominate five years from now.
• Applications and marketplaces. What’s hot and what’s not and which business models will be most successful. Will Ovi work for Nokia and can operators realistically offer a workable alternative in a multi-platform environment?
• Operators – partners or competitors? PC vendors are following smart phone vendors by embracing the operator subsidy model. For every partnership success, however, conflicts appear too. Can operators sell data to corporate customers? Who owns the customer? Should vendors sign exclusive or multi-operator deals?
