The Future of Mobile Debate: Native Apps vs. Web Apps Speaker: Andrew Donoho and C. Enrique Ortiz Date: 19th May 2010 Time: 6.00PM - 7.30PM Venue: AT&T Labs, 9505 Arboretum Blvd, Austin, TX 78759 Venue Map (Google Maps) Click Here to Register Contact: Saurabh Sureka - sab@ieee.org Talk Abstract: The speakers have had plenty of discussions with colleagues and friends about native apps, written to run directly on the operating system, versus mobile web app, written to run in a mobile browser. There is no right answer -- only questions and positions. This debate, in public and on stage, will refine your view of the choice. There will be many breaks in the debate for you, the judges, to ask refining questions of the participants. This will be fun. Speakers Profile: C. Enrique Ortiz (CEO) is
