From Monday, press day at CeBIT, the team plan to bring you reports every two hours, on the hour from midday to midnight (Hannover time, GMT+1) for 5-15mins to try and keep you updated on the latest Mobile Computing news.

You can watch live at MeetMobility.com/live

JKK of JKKMobile and Sascha of Netbooknews will be on the floor and Chippy (of Carrypad) will be in the studio trying to summarise the incoming news. We’ll have call-ins from the team and we’ll also be testing out live reporting, including video, from the floor. Expect a few guests too.

We’ll be announcing each summary broadcast and anything extra-ordinary through the @meetmobility twitter channel so make sure you follow that to keep up with the latest schedule. All videos will appear in the homepage so you can catch up on the latest at any time.

Here’s a quick introduction from the studio.

You’ll notice that we’re ad-free and unsponsored. If you’re interested in sponsoring the live events this week, contacts us and we’ll arrange it.

Meet:Mobility Podcast 44 is now available. Streamed live (meetmobility.com/live) on 24th Feb 2010 with special guests Ewan Spence (Twitter) and Chris Davies (Twitter)

Meet:Mobility Podcast 43 was a great session recorded live at the Intel booth at Mobile World Congress 2010 in front of a live audience. In the 40-minute podcast we talk about some of the best hardware and software aspects of MWC and hook into the money and business aspects of development for mobile software platforms. Round the table for podcast 43 were…

The audio version of the podcast, with show notes, will be in the normal channels soon but if you can’t wait for that, here’s the video recording in three parts.

Many thanks to Pages Media (YouTube-Channel : RedaktionPages ) and Software-Dev-Blog for their support in making this video and thanks to the live audience and of course to the Intel Developer Network who made this live session possible.

Podcast 44, a studio-based warm-up to CeBIT is coming in just a few days and the team will also be bringing you mini-podcasts each day from CeBIT as the news breaks.

Thanks for listening and watching.

What a fantastic start to the year we’ve had at Meet Mobility. First we’re live in Vegas at the Runcore booth and then a few weeks later, we’re running four sessions in Barcelona at the Intel booth at Mobile World Congress. I think I can speak for the whole Meet:Mobility team when I say that joining our individual web forces for podcasts and events has been one of most rewarding and exciting things we’ve done. You can guarantee we’ll be organising more of these events and as I write this, Sascha and JKK are trying to organise something for CeBIT next week so stay tuned.

My favorite session at MWC last week was the 30 minutes we spent with Scott Apeland. Scott is Director of Intel’s Developer Network and was able to answer most of our questions on the Intel Atom Developer Program, the AppUp Center Beta and the MeeGo announcement. The session is split into three parts and is included below.

Our podcast, from day 3, will be posted later today.
