GDC 2008 and some 3GSM/MWC 2008 blogs

I am spending the weekend in LA after attending the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

The show was okay, nothing too exciting, but maybe it was because I was spending most of the time in pre-scheduled meetings or because I saw most of the "new" things already in the E4 conference last October (and blogged about it here).

Another major conference held the week before this was the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (formerly known as 3GSM). I couldn't make it to the conference this year, but to learn about insights from the show, I recommend you read Carnival of the Mobilists issue #111 hosted at the Vision Mobile blog. It refers to several posts from various bloggers that blogged about MWC.

Well, that's about all the time I have to write... I am trying for some time now to write a post about SMS services in the US as a continuation post to my post on deploying J2ME apps in the US (which BTW was published in the Carnival of the Mobilists issue #110 hosted at Debi Jones' Mobile Messaging 2.0 blog)

The post would probably include info on the various services such as Bulk SMS, Premium SMS etc. Info on US regulations and carrier-specific regulations, SMS brokers and their different approaches towards those restrictions etc.

Hope I will find that time soon enough... till then have a good weekend (and let's hope the weather here in LA improves...)
