This means that the conference will be focused and granular and have much more interaction from attendees and speakers than is usually found at such events.

Topics to be covered include:

* Browser evolution(Opera mobile 9.5, Nokia S40 6th edition, flashlight)
* location based services including CellID databases
* iPhone including iStore and iPhone applications
* Android
* Mobile web advertising,
* Emerging markets(Brazil and Digital inclusion)
* Network API’s (GSMA, OpenAjax, Bondi)
* Widgets
* Offline browsing

And much more.

The discussion will focus on the strategy, implementation, competitive advantages and the pitfalls of these trends with a unique opportunity to get unbiased opinions.
