Here are the highlights from my Twitter stream last week:
Just in time for the start of Mobile World Congress, my domain provider imposed an arbitrary cap on my email limit, despite advertising ‘unlimited’ storage. Sigh. The problem is now corrected, but if you sent me an email over the last 2 days, please re-send it. Tech support tells me that emails that bounced are not recoverable. Apologies for any inconvenience.
As day 2 of Mobile World Congress rounds to a close, and day 3 begins (ahem – it’s nearly 3am), I thought I’d point out a few highlights from Mobile World Congress so far:
Pre-MWC: I started the pre-MWC whirlwind with The NAVTEQ awards party, in which the EMEA winners of the Global LBS Challenge were announced. It was a good event. A handful of promising companies showcased their LBS-enhanced mobile products. From there, I went to MobileSunday, which was, as usual packed with a great crowd of mobile enthusiasts bracing for the week ahead. After that, I hit the town with the team from Skyhook Wireless (whose wi-fi location-based technology is embedded in the iPhone and millions of others worldwide) and a few of their 3rd party developer partners – all of whom are working on things that would set any mobile enthusiast’s heart racing… I’d tell you more, but that’d be like ruining a good surprise, and that’s no fun.

Apple is making its big (rumored Tablet) announcement tomorrow, and the folks at StageTwo and I are organizing a tweet-up afterward to chat about whatever is announced and the impact it will have.
