RICH MEDIA COMES ALIVE WITH MOBILE SVG (Brad Sipes, CTO, Ikivo)

2007 is poised to be the year when widespread availability of rich
mobile multimedia experiences becomes a reality and not just a
marketing exercise. Deployment of mobile services based on music,
video on demand, live TV, etc. are now occurring at an accelerating
rate introducing consumers to a new way of interacting with a world
of information and entertainment by allowing them to do so without
sacrificing mobility. Ultimate success or failure depends on
delivering a quality experience in a timely manner. With its
inherent open standards based eco-system and functional advantages
such as true vector scalability, advanced graphics and OTA logic and
UI updates, Mobile SVG provides the perfect platform for enabling
operators and service providers to realize the dream of brining the
promise of rich media to mobile.

SVG - GOING EVERYWHERE WITH THE WEB (Charles McCathieNevile, Chief
Standards Officer, Opera)

This presentation will present SVG as a format that can be applied
everywhere, helping to ensure that the power of the web can be
offered on all devices.

GROWING THE ECOSYSTEM, EVOLVING THE WEB (Daniel Appelquist, Senior
Technology Strategist, Vodafone)

Why is a British phone company so excited about graphical user
experiences? At Vodafone, we envision a future where the Web is
accessed from the phone as much if not more than it is accessed from
a PC. Indeed, in some parts of the world, this is already true.
We’re working on a number of initiatives and standards efforts to
help grow this mobile Web ecosystem. However, the Web is also
evolving and becoming a dynamic application platform. What will this
intersection of Web 2.0 and the Mobile Web mean both to the users and
developers of Web applications?

SVG TINY SOLUTIONS TO EMPOWER THE MOBILE PROFESSIONAL (Don Liberty,
Director of Business Development, BitFlash)

today, combined with the new and powerful feature set offered by the
SVG tiny 1.2 specification, mobile solution providers are beginning
to offer innovative SVG-based applications. This presentation will
touch on productivity applications and use cases targeted at the
mobile business professional.

ACCESSING AND DISPLAYING DATA ON A MOBILE DEVICE USING SVG (Marc
Verstaen, Senior Director Software Development, Hyperion Solutions)

Developing custom applications for the corporate world on mobile
devices is often considered as a very difficult task. Applications
need to be adapted for each device, results is most the time not
attractive at all and impact usability. Using SVG-T 1.2, some basic
AJAX concepts and the Mobile Designer authoring tool can solve this
problem.
