Wrapping up the iSkoot Fall Trade Show Tour, Jake sets his sights on SoCal this week for a Thursday, Oct 22 speaking gig at Digital Hollywood Fall in Santa Monica. (We know - first South Beach and now Santa Monica? Jake sure can pick ‘em.)
Jake will be joining a panel of experts to explore “Mini-Apps as the Next Platform Explosion: Mobile and Social Media.” Now this sounds like our kind of panel.
The official skinny from Digital Hollywood:
Now there is a new world of mobile and broadband interaction, familiar to almost everyone — Mini-Apps, Social Apps and Widgets. For the uninitiated, the Mini-App is miniature application or website that resides as a component element on a user’s desktop, social media page or mobile device. A button on a user desktop may open multiple Apps, so that in a flash, mini-apps open to reveal up-to-the minute stocks, the weather, airline arrivals, a dictionary, your photo album — virtually anything, any data type — can be formatted into a Mini-App. Once the user gets the hang of it, life without mini-apps is impossible. Mini-apps are as addictive as email. Mini-Apps are your mini-obsessions managed and delivered as desired. Add in a layer of commerce and you have a fully featured digital ecosystem. Watch out! Mini-Apps are Here!
If you’re an iSkoot fan you’ve probably advanced beyond beginner-level familiarity with the world of mobile social media, but all the more reason to get down there to see what’s coming up next. You’ll get the insider scoop from our esteemed Senior Director of Marketing, plus execs from RadioTime, Juice Wireless, Last Legion Games, PointAbout.com, and TuneWiki. The panel will be moderated by Gary Yentin, a Consultant at Global Media and Entertainment.
This is the last opportunity to see Jake Martin in the wild (for now), so make sure to stop by, tune in and say hi. The panel runs about 75 minutes and starts at 9:30am sharp on Thursday morning. See you there!

As we signposted a few weeks back, trade show season in the wireless biz is really starting to crank; here at iSkoot, we’re prepping to pack up and ship out yet another iSkoot executive to get in the mix and spread iSkoot’s unique brand of wireless wisdom.
iSkoot Senior Director of Marketing Jake Martin heads to the VON Conference and Expo in South Beach, Florida this Wednesday to participate in a panel entitled Smartphones on Steroids: Netbooks and the Next Device Wave. The panel kicks off at 10am EST (that’s this Wednesday, Sept 23) and promises to deliver a full 50 minutes of industry expertise on smartphones, laptops and how the marriage of the two is changing consumer/provider experience.
The official blurb from VON:
“As mobile phones get smarter — with multicore processors, larger screens and improved graphics — laptops are getting thinner, becoming hyper-connected “netbooks.” This convergence is shifting the way people compute and connect - and the way service providers relate to their customers and generate revenue. This session will explore the effects of the smartphone/netbook convergence on service providers’ business models, network planning and marketing.”
The discussion promises to be an interesting one, and if Jake’s past speaking record is any indication, audiences can look forward to a pretty rollicking good time.
You’ve got two days. Get yourself to South Beach!

iSkoot is San Jose-bound! We’ll be at Digital Hollywood’s summer session, Building Blocks 2008, tomorrow, Aug 6, to present our perspective on delivering web services to mobile.
The Panel: “Reinventing the Mobile Device and Mobile Network - Integrating the Full PC Experience into a Personal Communications Device”
The Time: 2:15 PM - 3:30 PM
The Place: Marriott San Jose Hotel, 301 South Market St., San Jose, California
The iSkoot Representative: Mark Jacobstein was poised for action, but (as start-up CEOs tend to do) he’s had to zip off last minute to conduct business in far-away corners of the globe. iSkoot’s Senior Director of Marketing, Mr. Jake Martin will sit on the panel in his place.
Digital Hollywood’s Building Blocks session focuses on “The Platforms That Transform the Industry.” As part of The Mobile 2.0 - Personalized Platform segment, Jake will join panelists from Palm, Intel, Symbian, and more to discuss the evolution of mobile as it integrates communication with web services and entertainment-on-the-go. The panel will be moderated by Rick Doherty, co-founder and Director of The Envisioneering Group.
Hope to see you there!
