This one looks like a biggie for industry professionals, happening in Montreal Oct 9th.
“This event is tailored to create a reunion between the corporate and wireless world. We have great speakers lined-up from Motorola, Microsoft, Rogers, Wavesat, etc… So far, we have more then 200 participants register. It looks like it will be THE event not to miss. “
If you are heading out to Montreal next week for this one drop us a line. We’d love to hear an inside report on the proceedings. It is certainly interesting times in Canadian wireless industry these days :)
Thanks to Normand Cyr for the tip.

If you are an iPhone dev, you’ve already heard the news. Apple has dropped the (@#$!) NDA terms on iphone apps. This means you, we can actually talk to each other about iPhone development. There’s only one thing to do, hold an iPhone dev’s meetup and pub event to celebrate.
How about a Toronto meetup downtown, tentatively Thursday Oct 9 6:30pm-ish, details/venue to follow. Drop a note in the comments if you’d like to be there. Bring your ideas, your apps (just the, er, released ones, honest). Drop a note if you’d like to organize one elsewhere too.

# Montreal’s OZ communications sells to Nokia. The scoop: “What OZ does is enables branded (think Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, MySpace, etc.) email, instant messaging and social networking on handsets. Their focus has been consumers and they had typically worked with feature phones. They have recently moved up-market with an enterprise-like “Smart Mail” offering aimed at professionals, small business owners and frequent email users.”
# Fonolo’s mobile app wins Judge’s prize at mobilize We’ve written about fonolo before, and should have mentioned this story earlier. Great voice 2.0 applications here, and now on mobile. Fonolo is like a voice-bot that navigates call centre trees for you… or any other applications you can think of, they just released an api.

By the way, in the back of our collective brain here at WirelessNorth.ca, we’re working on a new presentation deck “The State of the Wireless Industry in Canada is… Awesome”. You may recognize this as a counterpoint an earlier, alternate, thesis.
