The media landscape is constantly changing; new devices, technology and emerging platforms develop and often influence our daily environment.

With all the emerging platforms and developing technology, such as mobile, it can be a little overwhelming.
Matt Crowley, our VP of Sales Operations, will be on a mobile advertising panel at the upcoming Borrell Associates “2010 Local Online Advertising: The ‘Business of Making Money’ Conference” February 8–9 in New York City. I expect that many of these topics that affect us as developers, advertisers or even mobile users will be covered. Here are the panel details:

I just got back from Las Vegas and can honestly say the 2010 AT&T Developer Summit was a blast! The AT&T Developer Summit is an annual one day event hosted by the AT&T Developer Program. This year the DevSummit was on January 6 and held at the Palms Casino and Resort, one day before the International CES show. It was a full day event giving attendees access to information about recent AT&T technology announcements and tools for developing applications on the AT&T Network and mobile devices.
Highlights from this year’s DevSummit include:
Among others, keynotes and remarks by; Ralph De La Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, and Dr. Paul Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm.
