The second event is a live open presentation and Q&A on the Dell Streak. That will start at 2100 CEST (Midday San Francisco, 2000 UK, other times here.)  I don’t have a full retail model but the device I have allows me to show you around the device, demonstrate some features, give you some thoughts and answer your questions. So far the device is living up to all my expectations with the extra bonus that the battery life appears to be better than I thought. Unfortunately JKK can’t join us because he’s still out in Taipei and by the time he gets back to his studio on Wednesday, I’ll be away on another commitment until the week after. We might have a few Streak owners from the UK joining the chat though so it will be the perfect chance to get together to talk about the device from multiple perspectives. Video and chat will be running at Carrypad.com/live. I’ll be bringing the Sony Ericsson X10, Viliv S5 and Archos 5 for comparison. See you there.

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.

We’re back, safe and sound, from CeBIT 2009 and we’ve got a lot to talk about. In this 1hr 15min podcast we cover the mobile computing highlights from CeBIT 2009 across the netbook and mobile computing sector. We also talk about how we covered the whole show with nothing but MIDs, netbooks and 3G connectivity. Yup, all the videos, podcast and written content was created on netbooks and UMPCs and uploaded via 3G.

Meetmobility Best of CeBIT Award.

The ‘best of’ award is something we’re going to continue to do when we attend an event and for CeBIT 2009 we’ve decided to make two awards.

Best Manufacturer Award goes to ASUS for continued development around the Eee brand. Design and quality remain high and new usage scenarios are being considered all the time. Expansion out into other product segments makes complete sense and it shows that Asus are not afraid to take risks.

Best Product Award goes to the Novatel Mifi. This fantasticly simple, small and useful battery-powered 3G/Wifi router could find a place in every mobile computing kit bag.  We are all looking forward to testing, and buying one!

The Viliv S5 that has been sent for review and MIDMoves SXSW duties has just cleared customs in Germany which means it’s highly likely that we’ll not only do a live MeetMobility CeBIT roundup podcast tomorrow but also a live testing and Q&A session with the brand new Viliv S5. Ben and JKK also have the Sony Vaio P so we’ll add those two into the mix. Sascha from Netbooknews.de will be around too. It’s going to be a long long night of mobile computing fun so join us at 2000hrs CET, tomorrow on UMPCPortal.com/live or JKKMobile.com/live

There’s lots more to see here so over the next two days we will bring you additional podcasts.

Rather than scatter our content around under different banners, we decided to create a site that we can use to pull all our joint events together.

We’ve still got a lot of work to do here but over the coming weeks we’ll get the relevant content and links in place.

We start next week at CeBIT where we’ll be doing a lot of work together to get good content out. Expect joint podcasts, news from a MeetMobility event we’ve got planned with industry members and a lot of microblogs! See the sidebars on the site for the latest microblogs and podcasts info.

If you don’t follow our websites, the theme here is mobile computing from the emerging uber-smartphone or midphone market through to some of the lighter and mobile-focused netbooks. As mobile computing and mobile internet reaches the masses, we’ll be covering it.

More news about events, live sessions and podcasts soon. Stay tuned.
