We've been at WES this week -- the largest gathering of BlackBerry users, technologists, and vendors of the year -- and we're learning some interesting things. There are 6000 people at this event, but there are 800 million who use mobile devices and, if they all have the same general interests as attendees at this show, there's going to be a lot of adoption of technologies that personalize users' interactions on their handhelds. That's good for Webalo, of course, so it's been reassuring to hear so much discussion on the subject.
Since greater personalization (involving access to enterprise applications) turns mobile devices into practical, alternatives-to-laptops computing platforms, the devices themselves take on greater value. So we weren't surprised to find ourselves in talks with several wireless carriers who now see handhelds as a lot more than just phones and email communicators.
However, we were surprised that attendees consumed 13000 eggs at breakfast and 700 gallons of coffee!
