What’s coming up next !?
Okay so by now we’re all over the iPhone 3G right ? Hmm maybe not. Looks like we’re at the beginning of something big – and we’re not just talking about the fight brewing over mobile data charges.
This month and over the next few Mobile Monday Sydney events, we’re going to be taking a look at where things are heading in the mobile world - with some of Australia and the World’s best thinkers about connected, mobile digital society.
Introducing Xumii
Founded in San Francisco by Australian entrepreneur Jennifer Zanich, Xumii was an award-winning mobile internet application before it’s beta version was even launched.
One of this year’s VentureBeat DigitalMedia “Mobile Beat” Top 30 picks (along with another early MoMo Sydney guest Mig33), Xumii “gives you a centralized way to aggregate contacts and feeds from your social networks and IM, and stay connected by sharing messages, widgets and photos via IM, threaded chat, groups and mobile walls.”
Come along and hear all about one hottest new mobile apps out there, and hear Jennifer’s story about what its like to get venture funding for a mobile app company in Silicon Valley!
And of course, Google
We’re delighted to have the company of senior product manager Justin Baird from Google Australia, to tell us more about Google’s vision for the mobile internet – and of course remind us of how an Australian team gave birth to the technology that became Google Maps.
He’s promised to “pull some rabbits out of the hat” so we’re guessing there’ll be a fair bit about Google’s ideas for the future mobile web experience. Are you holding onto your seats out there !?
Bring your mobiles and business cards
Should be a fun night with lots of opportunities to meet new people, make personal and professional contacts, and be inspired. Come along and meet your peers in the Sydney mobile and wireless industry. Entry is free, but to guarantee your place click here to RSVP.

[…] Our CEO, Jennifer Zanich, will be on hand at Mobile Monday (August 4th) to chat about Xumii, and share our tales of what it is like to manage offices/teams in both Silicon Valley and Sydney (let’s just say she has built up a nice little stack of frequent flyer miles). […]
