Motally is currently in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress.  Find the team at the RIM Blackberry booth at AppPlanet in Exhibit Hall 7, Booth 7B26 and be one of the many partners, potential customers, developers and mobile enthusiasts who are stopping by to chat and learn about our mobile analytics offering.  We’re excited to be a part of this annual event which draws people from all around the world to learn about the latest trends in the mobile industry and to hear about the most recent product launches.  Despite the cold and rainy weather, more than 50,000 people, representing over 1,300 companies, from over 180 countries, are attending  attending MWC this year.  Some notable product launches included Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Series and several new smartphones from HTC.  Other interesting things noted by the team at MWC include an eye-controlled headphone for MP3 players by NTT DoCoMo and a new technology that allows you to embed a 5 sec music clip inside a 1″ square image, which means you can use a Blackberry or iPhone to take a picture and translate that data into music.  Other highlights include a keynote given by Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt who said that Mobile would be a priority for 2010 and revealed the company’s new mantra “Mobile First.”  He also shared with the audience that 60,000 phones with the Android OS were being bought everyday and emphasized the growing importance of cloud computing.  Meanwhile, Steve Jobs was named “Personality of the Year” by the Mobile World Congress awards committee even though he was not present at the show.
