3th day at Mobile World Congress 2012

Today I've been to the Mobile World Congress for my first day.
I arrived around 9.30 in the morning and I met my friend and old coworker Fernando Cejas at the entrance.

I went directly to the IntelUp app Conference where I met the other Ideaknow Coworkers.
The conference was great. I don't really like HTML5 and I am no a good developer with Javascript but the conference was introductive and great.

At the break, I went to have a walk and was nice to meet Albert Nadal go around. We have been talking and he came with us to the second part of the Intel DevUp conference wich was about HTML5 best practices. It has been good.

After that I had got a short meeting with Albert Fabregat to introduce our self and explain our things.
Then I came to meet my brother Gil Freixanet. He was there to record with his camera Sandro Rosell, the F.C. Barcelona president, who made a speak there.

Then I have been around the Applanet, where the catalan companies stands were. I met my old company Mobivery with the stand presenting the project Malcom which I was working in.
Then I met an interesting company called Inqbarna, situated at Barcelona Activa. I was talking with David, one of his founder and developer. Nice met.
Also, I was at the SlashMobility stand talking with Emilio, nice met too.

After, I went around and when I was to the Android Stand, I got good Android toys!

Going around also I got to nice t-shirts. One from Angry Birds and the other from Foursquare, the Mobile World Congress Official t-shirt.

2nd day at Mobile World Congress 2012

Today I have been to the Mobile World Congress 2012 for my second day, and was as amazing as yesterday.
In the Morning I attended to the Samsung Developer Day at the Applanet. The Applanet is where all the developers conference have been done.

The Samsung Developer Conference was better than the Nokia which I was yesterday. When I arrived, there was a lot of queue again, but as yesterday, because I have my registration, I could access directly inside.
There I met my old coworker and friend Albert nice to see him again.
The conference have been correctly. The first part, was for developers. Samsung,  present a lot of things. for exemple, they show a new pen to interact whit the Samsung mobiles, as the new Samsung galaxy note.
The curious was when they showed a new Android app for Samsung which allows you to share fotos as a post cards and the app crashed at the demo. As I always say in Catalan, "Android peta", which it means, Android Crash.

The second part was a little more comercial.

After it, I went around and I would like to highlight 2 things:

1- The futur of the NFC technology. For exemple, as you can see in the video, I saw an app which allows you to start your motorbike using your mobile with the NFC technology. I think this is the futur! I hope the iPhone 5 use NFC.

2- See a new demo of the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Library. I have tried this library to make some iOS demos and I think it has improved. It is amazing!

Having a walk, I came back to the Android Stand I could take an ice cream sandwich, cool!

For the end, I attended to the Blackberry Developer Day, at the developers conference. It was the best conference. At the end, they give to every body free Blackberry Playbooks tablets.

It has been a good day. Tomorrow more. 

1st day at Mobile World Congress 2012

Today I have been at the first day of Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, and
as the last year, been there is an amazing experience for a mobile developer.
I arrived there about 9.00h an I have been walking around the halls.
Firstly, I went to the Android world, incredible!

I have been there meeting another Android developers and having fun. As the last year I have been to the Android slide, as if I was a 10 years old boy.. look at the photo!

After that, I went to the hall 2 to the Windows Phone zone because my friend Fernando told me that there I could win a price. 

The rate consist in beat a Windows Phone mobile making a task with my mobile phone. I accepted it because the price to win was 100 euros!

I had to make a tweet and a Facebook post saying "hi" with my iPhone 4S faster than the Windows Phone. I tried and I was the first to be faster than a Windows Phone, so I got the price! Look at here:

After that, my friend Enrique also got it. He had to post a foto to the Google+.

Then, I went to the Nokia Conference. I got my invitation and I was lucky because there was a lot of queue. Look at here:

The conference was really really boring! It was not a developers conference. Nokia only explained news partnerships and not technical things. Everybody thought the same and it was a pity to see all the devs bored and wasting time. We all wait the end of the conference because Nokia draw a Mobile. Me an my friends had not been lucky. Was great to see my old coworkers friends from Mobivery. 

After eating something, we spent the rest of the time going around and also I came back to Android Zone to take some good picture.

Finally, I spent the last time at the mobile with my Ideaknow friends taking some free beers and enjoying the waterfall and music light show. Barcelona is a really nice city..

So, it was a great day and I have been lucky to got my free Mobile World Congress pass for Biapum. Tomorrow more and better! I will tell you!

Thanks for read and please, give me some comments.. ;)

PD: Here is all the presents I got it! woooooooow!
