Being on the board of the DC chapter of Mobile Mondays, and a recent transplant to Silicon Valley, I decided to attend a Mobile Monday event out here, which had a panel discussing mobile web apps vs. native apps. The number of people attending was staggering (some said CTIA being held in the same area had a lot to do with it, but still!) especially compared to the size crowd the dcMOMO group typically draws.
Here's the panel list, and the video is below:
With new HTML 5 and powerful browsers that access the GPS, Camera, and file system. Are Web Apps the new way to go?

I recently attended GigaOM's Mobilize 2010 conference in San Francisco, where many speakers pontificated on the current and future impact of mobile. The event was good and fast-paced, although I wished some of the panels could've gotten more in-depth. Kudos to my friend Teck Chia who spoke on a panel at the event.
One interesting keynote was from Nicholas Negroponte, the creator of the One Laptop Per Child initiative. He spoke about the history of the program, and what's worked, and what hasn't worked, as well as his move into tablets instead of laptops. He gave some compelling reasons why tablets would help 3rd world countries leapfrog the US educational system, and how he's working to create tablets that allow users to create content, not just consume content (the key, he says, is content creation - without it, everyone is just a bunch of couch potatoes).
