I will also be doing a few presentations during the conference, so for any one attending the actual conference, please look me up too.. Trying to see if we can organize a XAP-athon event where you can book some time with me, bring your apps, run them on the phone, and I can help with as many tips as I can do in an hour or so (per app)… Email me if you want in on that..

Mega looking forward to this.. If you have suggestions on what I should cover, email me..
