Mobi-Vision

The new buzz in OPEN source sector is mobile programming & app development....GOOGLE joined the OPEN HANDSET ALLIANCE and came up with ANDROID(open source OS like openmoko)....ANDROID mobile's r due in 2009...

Joining the buzz,LUG(linux user's group,manipal) has come with the MOBI-VISION event in our annual tech-fest(techtatva08.com)...

Currently,we r undertaking a mobi-vision workshop on Symbian(nokia) and Android....MIT,manipal saw one of the biggest turn out ever in coll history with over 250 people turning up for the workshop...

I am taking the android workshop with other luggies...Due to the tremendous enthu shown by the students(especially 1st & 2nd years), the 5 day wrkshp has been extended to 10 days....
After the workshop,a competition will take place in october(under Techtatva) where students will be required to create their own innovative mobile application(either in Symbian or Android)....outstation participants r also invited!!!!
