‘Battle of the Smartphones’ turns out crowd for August meetup, despite heat of midsummer Miami

Great turnout for last night’s MoMo Miami meetup … with 73 pre-registered attendees, we had a head count of 60 in the house just 15 minutes into the evening’s program on “The Battle of the Smartphones!”

Many thanks to Jeff Sass, VP, Bus Dev, Myxer & MoMo Miami Exec Committee member for having suggested a panel topic that turned out so many attendees despite the heat of mid-summer Miami, for his pre-event organization of the panel and for his excellent & amusing introductory history of the smartphone.

Special thanks as well to panel moderator Bridget Carey, Technology Reporter, Miami Herald, for her thoughtful and probing questions of the panelists and directing the Q&A with the audience. And, of course, to the panelists themselves: Policarpo Guerrero, CEO, MSCorp & Open Ovi blog; John Collette, Software Engineer, Myxer; Edwin Hernandez, Principal Staff Software Engineer, Motorola; and Ben Hopkins, Independent iPhone Developer.

Finally, a debt of gratitude to Angelique Swann of the Doubletree Hotel Coconut Grove for having generously provided the meetup venue, with ample space and great views of Coconut Grove and beyond from the 20th floor of the hotel.

Next meetup is scheduled for Thursday September 17th in Coral Gables … with more details on the venue and program to come soon, so stay tuned!
