WIMM Labs

I attended the Mobility and Gadget Summit organized by the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley yesterday. There were the usual pitches about the evolution of the market, Wi-Fi etc. Several new and interesting ideas were noteworthy:

1. WIMM- This is a lab that is churning out wearable computers. The concept is novel- how small can you bring computing into and what do you do with it?

2. Honest Technology: Home and portable office devices using the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band to transmit video from the iPhone, iPAD, Android Phone to a gadget attached to a TV. The company representative admitted that when sending HD video, a home access point running 802.11g would be basically saturated!

Overall, it was a good crowd asking great questions and capturing the momentum on mobility.
