MWC 2011 Parties app - for JavaME and Android



As in last year, I have written an app that aggregates most interesting free networking events, receptions and parties happening in the week of MWC 2011 in Barcelona.Get it here while it's hot!

The app has all the info offline, so if you download it before coming to Barcelona, you'll have all the info in your pocket, without the need to go online (while roaming...).

You can download it here: http://budurl.com/mwc11app

And the good news is that it's available both for Android and for JavaME (Which should also work in most BlackBerry devices and Symbian phones for those of you who still have it).

For the iPhone fans, there's no app - but there is a slim mobile web version in the link above that can save you data, and also I'll make an effort to add HTML5 caching tags, optimized for iPhone, so that your browser can see the info even when you're offline.

For the techies, I can share that the app was made with LWUIT, Oracle's UI framework that allows rapid development of rich UI mobile apps. LWUIT is mostly for JavaME, but some community contributors have made porting libraries for BlackBerry and for Android - I must say porting this app from JavaME to Android was a snap!

Enjoy!
