日本語版

It seems like only yesterday that we announced our launch event! But that was last September — a lifetime in the mobile space — and we’ve since grown from bottle-feed darlings to lovable little monsters getting our fingers into everybody’s (wireless) business!

The 5 September MoMo event will have plenty of room for everyone — including well-wishers from the ACCJ — at the uber-trendy loft-style club Warehouse in Azabu-Juban. The evening includes presentations from Opera Japan and FreeVerse Partners, with a super buffet by the good folks at Corporate Gourmet.

Free w/advance registration (below) or ¥1,000 at the door

“Mobile Movie Showdo” is a software toolkit and application control product for BREW video and audio integration. Showdo allows BREW developers to rapidly integrate video and audio streaming media into new or existing mobile applications. Showdo’s core technology is based on TruVideo, a high-performance video codec; the product is a joint development effort between FreeVerse Partners and Nihon Enterprise (presentation in Japanese).

Brent Mori – VP Sales & Business Development – Opera Japan – .PDF
With Japan adopting global-standard 3G networks, overseas tech firms are breaking into this market and Norway-based Opera, maker of the highly rated Opera browser, is one of the players intent on shaking up domestic competition. In July, KDDI announced yet another Opera browser-equipped WIN phone, following on the heels of DoCoMo’s M-1000 in June. Brent Mori presents on the challenges of enabling full-featured Web content on mobile handsets in the world’s most advanced 3G mobile market.

Mobile Monday Summit – 10th Anniversary

About Mobile Monday

Mobile Monday (MoMo) is an open community platform of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influential individuals fostering brand neutral cooperation and cross-border business opportunites through live networking events to demo products, share ideas and discuss trends from both local and global markets. Originating in Helsinki Finland, in 2000, events are organized by some 300 dedicated volunteers from around the world and it has become an industry leading mobile platform. Chapters have launched in over 100 cities, spanning 50 countries, worldwide and we continue to launch new locations monthly.

Mobile Monday Tokyo, launched in September 2004, has become a leading networking organization supporting the local mobile industry and is a key gathering point for corporate managers, entrepreneurs, developers, analysts and the media in Japan. MoMo Tokyo hosts regular networking events that routinely attract 100-200 participants working within the wireless industry. Founded by Mobikyo, our events are made possible by the generous and energetic contributions from many ‘Friends of MoMo’ Ambassadors.
