This year’s event was very engaging. On the heels of the event, the MicroHoo news came out. Based on the 08 predictions that were discussed, this deal could expedite some of what was discussed, such as consumer apps on mobile that consumers actually understand and use, further developments in voice technology (Microsoft bought TELLME in 07) and maybe, just maybe Clayton will get his settop box via IMN. It will be fun to look back in 09 and compare notes. Thanks to Clayton and the EmberMedia staff for a great event.
