I'm moderating two panels and chairing the morning sessions of the Mobile Application Developer Garage on Monday February 16, 2009 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Hall 5, Auditorium 3). This is a first of its kind event at Mobile World Congress, and it should be a great day.

9:30am: Update 2/11/09: There was a change in Keynote speakers. Dr. Tero Ojanperä, Executive Vice President, Services, at Nokia will now be delivering the Keynote, replacing Jim Balsillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Research in Motion (RIM). This announcement is particularly exciting because the Keynote happens just before a scheduled Nokia press conference at 10am. I'm crossing fingers that he'll be announcing some news for developers during this keynote.
