ArcticEvening Stockholm On November 18th

ArcticEvening Stockholm

Our second ArcticEvening this year in Stockholm will be held on 18th of November 2009.

The theme of the evening will be Mobile smartphone solutions and trends – how to strategically build business around the different native application platforms and mobile web.

Discussion around delivering content and servics to Android, iPhone, Symbian, and different app stores is stirring up the mobile industry, and there are lots of different views on how to approach the smartphone market.
