WELCOME
For a long time, we have seen each year hailed as The Year in which the untethered web
will come of age, with the release of new products from vendors who say they’ve unleashed
the potential of the mobile web. Sadly, these annual nibbles have left a bitter taste in the
mouths of early adopters.

That is, until the iPhone. Here was a product that was enjoyable to use and delighted users
with the experience. As they say, “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” — and quite
clearly iPhone owners have been feasting with their data consumption.

But let us be clear — the iPhone is only a glimpse into future of the mobile web.
Faster network speeds are powering devices with bigger screens, newer interfaces and an
emphasis on delivering a new kind of wireless Internet experience. The standard operating
systems — RIM’s Blackberry, Apple, Google Android, LiMo, Windows Mobile and Symbian —
are opening up opportunities for new applications and new ideas. It’s hard not to get
excited about the possibilities.

Now, consider the success of the traditional web. Now, let’s compare that to what may
come next:
• There are 980 million PCs in the world.
• There are 3.3 billion mobile handsets in the world.

Which platform and market do you want to address?

We thought so. That’s why you’re joining us here today at Mobilize. We welcome you to
our event! Engage in the rich program and take advantage of the unparalleled opportunities
for networking. Call out your ideas to the world. Start with the person next to you.

8:10 AM PANEL
Platform Face-Off: The Economics of Development
A panel of mobile industry experts explore the opportunities and challenges for mobile
developers in the next wave of broadband mobility. A proliferation of platforms are all
competing for developer mind share. How are the smartphone platforms such as Symbian,
Windows Mobile and Google Android reshaping how developers create, develop, and
launch mobile applications? What are the advantages and disadvantages of choosing
open platforms versus proprietary platforms? Which platforms are best for your intended
outcomes? Raven Zachary will lead the panel to outline the possible futures.

Location, Search and Context: The Noise and the Opportunities
In any high-growth area there is a lot of noise and the rapidly growing location-based
services space is incredibly busy. Location, search and context are hailed as the next trinity
for mobile profits, but could they be the next Bermuda Triangle for eager startups? To
see the opportunities we need to ask about the underlying technologies, monetization
practices and the potential trade-off between privacy and convenience. Led by mobile
search expert and authority Greg Sterling, this panel of industry insiders will aim to clear
away myths and preconceptions and get to the core of how this triple play will empower
entrepreneurs and their ideas.

Workshop: Founders Financing Workshop
The emergence of the internet as a powerful platform for media, social and business

mobile space is no exception. Fenwick & West is presenting a workshop for entrepreneurs
on the fundamentals of financing and venture capital/angel term sheets. The workshop
will feature perspectives on financing terms and process from a veteran angel investor,

Without Voice: The Future of Mobile Web Data Products
The success of products like the Amazon Kindle and the Dash navigation system point to
a future of mobile broadband devices that are not phones. Innovations like Qualcomm’s
diabetes monitoring phone show insight into future markets. Also we consider signals
that suggest an astonishing amount of traffic for websites is unexpectedly coming from
Mobile Internet Devices, like the Play Station Portable and iPod Touch. This panel will

11:20 AM PANEL
Thinking Experientially: What creates good mobile user experience?
Good User experience sells. It sells handsets, it sells applications and it generates data
usage. But what are the elements behind good User Experience (UX)? Countless
products indicate that it is not just nice graphics or industrial design. Good UX is a
combination of visual design, design for context and the hidden components like the
network and chips. This panel looks at what we have learned from recent products and
look to what advances mobile product creators should look forward to.

12:15 PM Workshop: Preventing Road Warrior Rage: Moving Beyond Mobile Email
According to an IDC study, the mobile enterprise application market will surge to $3.5
billion by 2010. The rapid adoption of smart phones has significantly expanded the
workspace beyond the confines of the traditional office. As the number of road warriors
spikes, mobilizing enterprise applications beyond email is the logical next step. During
this session, the panel will discuss best practices in mobilizing enterprise applications.
They will address the following Questions: Are there specific industries that are adopting
mobile applications faster than others? What are the challenges of mobilizing enterprise
applications? What future applications will be mobilized -- enterprise IM, IT help desk?
What are companies doing to help drive the next wave of mobilization?

Money and Friends: The Promise of Social Networks on Mobiles
Social networks work on the PC web. The 100 Million users that Facebook are about to
reach is testament to that. Many in Silicon Valley are rubbing their hands at the prospects
of riches being mined from mobility meeting the social graph. But the real question is will
it work? Will people want it? Many transitions from the web to mobile have landed with a
wet thud. We ask the people at the frontline of making social networking work on mobile
what obstacles and oases they see on the road ahead.

LAUNCHPAD COMPANIES

Cumulux
Cumulux was founded in March 2008 by two Microsoft veterans with the strong belief that
the mobile phone is the business computing device of the future and will evolve beyond email
and web browsing. The company is based out of Seattle, WA with development teams in
Delhi and Hyderabad, India. Cumulux provides products that enable information workers
access to critical business processes and knowledge on the go, with almost no additional
management costs to IT. Cumulux alleviates the need for IT to manage multiple applications
on the mobile device. Cumulux Portal Server is available both as an on-premise solution
and also as a hosted offering. Cumulux Mobile Suite is currently under development and
will be launched in December 2008. www.cumulux.com

Fonemesh
Fonemesh builds software for devices to interact dynamically with the environment they are
in. We bridge the gap which until now separated users in the physical environment with their
online identities. We believe that the future of the mobile web lies in the ability to selectively
utilize intelligence from online identities to give users a better understanding of their
surroundings and make more informed decisions on the go. Fonemesh is that missing fabric
which forms an automated, secure and cross-platform base for future web applications
to be built upon. Doing so allows us to realize tomorrow’s technology today, such as
preference-aware interactive signboards, social networking, automated file syncing and even
on-the-go gaming. www.fonemesh.com

Fonolo
Fonolo helps consumers deal with large companies over the phone. Fonolo’s Deep Dialing
feature allows users to skip the dreaded phone menus (also known as “IVR systems”) and
get right to the point. With Fonolo’s Deep Dialing, users can navigate the call path options
visually, on a computer or mobile device, then click to be connected directly, rather than
plodding through the menus step-by-step. Fonolo’s Intelligent Call History feature tracks all
the calls a user makes to a particular company, regardless of which phone is used, and
automatically organizes them along with notes and recordings. Fonolo is privately held and
based in Toronto. The service is currently in closed beta testing. www.fonolo.com

Fusion Garage
Fusion Garage founded in Feb 2008, has been working on Project Fuse - “The browser as
an operating system.” So far, the promise of the Web OS has been just that. - A promise.
“What if the browser could boot without an OS? How different would the world be?”
Project Fuse is an operating system with the browser at its core. It’s a UI experience that
ties the browser OS with various web services & deals with fragmentation and unification
of web services. It’s built with a social wrap that makes it socially active and communication
will be unified (blogs, emails, IMs amongst others). Additionally, developers can write once
for web and have it working across a variety of devices. www.fusiongarage.com
