CTIA09 RealVNC for Android
on 10/09/2009While walking the floor at CTIA09, we spotted the RealVNC logo and wandered over to see what they had to offer for Android. Turns out a lot. RealVNC was showing off their new cross-platform desktop to mobile control scheme. Using your desktop, you can wirelessly connect to and control a mobile device complete with touch input and hard key access.
The potential uses here are many. A company could use RealVNC control at an enterprise level to assist with technical issues on their employee’s phone or provide support for a confused user. The entire screen of the mobile device is shown in real time on the desktop, giving the help desk or service tech instant insight into the device without needing to be anywhere near it. Check out the video below for a quick preview of the service.

on 10/07/2009We just got out of the CTIA keynote. We heard from the CEO of CTIA, Steve Largent, the chairman of the FCC, Julius Genachowski, as well as the CEO of AT&T Mobility, Ralph de la Vega. De la Vega laid out 10 facts about the U.S mobile market and we took shots of all the slides (except fact 5, it was a video about innovation). Below you’ll find a few highlights or you can view the whole set on flickr.

on 10/06/2009We are live at the Motodev Summit waiting for the keynote to start. Motorola has setup a “Rock your droid” contest encouraging developers and members of the press to create their own Android characters.
All colors of clay, construction paper, scissors, glue, pipe cleaners, and more were available to create 2D and 3D droids. Motorola is giving away 4 Cliq phones as prizes to the most creative and most humorous creations so Clark and I decided to enter.
I went for funny and made a fat droid eating a donut. Clark went creative (and tried to suck up to the judges) with a huge Motorola logo coming out of his droid’s head. We will have to wait till tonight when winners are announced at the Motodev party, but at least we got free shirts for entering.
Check out our Flickr page for our droid creations and more photos coming up...

Highlights of the agreement include:
- Multiple Android handsets (to be announced in a few weeks)
- Android market will ship on all devices
- Verizon will support Google Talk (unlike AT&T)
