Once again CTIA Wireless IT is just around the corner (as is the annual Symbian smartphoneshow). The event will offer developers and mobile technology innovators a chance to connect with others, showcase some creative apps, and maybe pick up a few ideas from some of the leading names in mobile. Once again, LBS will be quite prominent at CTIA and opportunities are plentiful for you to have a very productive 3 days in the Bay area. This could be a signifigant topic down the road, particualrly with Nokia recently snapping up LBS industry leader and digital map provider, Navteq (see this analysis on the deal if you'd like more info).
Nokia will be front and center and pretty much everywhere (also, look for the S60 team) - Experience the possibilities of anytime, anywhere Internet, including services that will be part of Ovi, Nokia’s recently announced Internet services offering. Explore N-Gage and SNAP mobile games; play, sync and manage music; watch videos with Sling player and Orb; and check out Nokia Maps and GPS – all on their latest Nseries multimedia computers and Internet tablet, including the new N81 and N95 (now optimized for North America). If you want to connect with some Nokia people I suggest you check out the Nokia MOSH Party – Tuesday, October 23 at Ruby Skye. Also on Tuesday, the Nokia S60 team will be hosting an evening with S60, a cozy event designed to make you more familiar with anything and everything S60 - see more Here. If you can get to San Fran on Monday there's lots of pre-conference activities including the Smartphone Summit - a fantastic lineup of presenters. There's also NAVTEQ Connections 2007 - Participants at this one-day event will have the unique opportunity to network with and hear from industry-leading developers, device manufacturers, wireless carriers and solution providers bringing location-enabled services and technology to the mobile world. Finally, on Tuesday (Oct 23) there's the first annual SiRFecosystem’s Location 2.0 Summit. Andrew Seybold, one of the most respected and influential champions of mobile wireless innovation, will be hosting this invitation-only event. Finally, here's a tip on an interesting panel “Commercializing Location Based Services,” taking place in Room 200, Oct. 23, 1:00-2:30 p.m. These are just a sampling of the LBS-centric activities taking place at CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment... maybe I'll (Glenn) see you there!
Happy and safe travels to those of you attending next week's smartphoneshow and we look forward to providing a plate-full of news and industry announcements coming out of the event... be sure to share your smartphoneshow news, experiences, and comments with us here at symbianOne - simply contact info @ symbianone.com.

 Selling Software: Epocware's Experience and Challenges -
The market for add-on Symbian applications has changed significantly in the last two years, since the introduction of S60 3rd Edition devices. But there are still challenges. Richard Bloor caught up with Jeanne Kolesnik, business development director, Epocware and Smart Handheld Devices divisions, Paragon Software Group, to find out how this has affected Epocware.
Develop Rich Mobile Applications using Flash Lite, Creative Pros and Adobe Dev Central - from MAX - Recently, while much of the business world's attention was on the Nokia / Navteq deal, a team from Nokia (I should say Forum Nokia) was hard at it in Chicago at the annual Adobe MAX conference. I have to admit, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got there, however, that soon changed once I started hearing all the news and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. This article looks at how Adobe and Nokia are making it simple for developers to create rich mobile applications using Flash Lite.
Sony Ericsson Application Shop: More Than Just Selling -
