Last night I made my may up to Mobile Mondays NYC. The topic of last nights discussion was 'Beyond Scores. Sports Brands & Their Mobile Game Plan'. Overall the discussion was thought provoking and focused less on sports and more on general industry trends. For example motivating factors for mobile content usage tends to share similar qualities across industries. Mobile Mondays is great outlet for anyone looking get involved, meet people and participate in the NYC mobile community.

Also yesterday, SharkRunners appeared on BoingBoing. Thank you Josh for sending that my way.

Sun continued its trend in profitability. Sun also recently released Sun SPOTS (Small Programmable Object Technology). After a quick review, I think I'll stick Arduino for now. Having the option to work with Java on the board is very appealing. However, the Atmel chip is more affordable (by far). I do hope that the community grows for this platform and that price comes down just a wee little bit.
