The second MoMo Chennai (MobileMonday) concluded on a high note yesterday at the Gandhi nagar club.
The event saw over 60 mobile enthusiasts from the city meeting and sharing views on mobile technology.

Prakash Sayini , Developers Relations ,Forum Nokia spoke on ”
The route to global market opportunities with Nokia - for mobile application developers Going to market with Nokia”.
It was a brief overview of the offerings from Forum Nokia for developers.He called the mobile phone screen as the 4th Screen.There were some interesting questions from the audience about how to market an application.Location Based Services are the next big thing on the mobile and there was some discussion in this regard.He also spoke about Nokia Ovi
Widgets are very common these days and some of you might have heard about Widsets.Widgets are a new way of sharing and displaying content.Next Came Balagopal,Technology Expert, Forum Nokia India Team who spoke on “Getting Started with WebRunTime development on S60″ . It dealt with mobile widgets. Sadly , WRT is present only in S60 3rd Edition , Feature Pack 2 phones.Web Run-Time widgets are small applications developed using standards-based Web technologies, such as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax. In fact, you can port existing desktop widgets to Web Run-Time with very little effort – and you can use your existing tools.

Next up was David from mobiSiteGalore who demoed their free tool that will let you build your mobile website in absolutely no time. The tool was impressive and powerful.

The last talk was on iPhone Web Development which was given by Prabhu . This was a cool talk even though there was no demo on the real device.Prabhu is organizing WebCamp next week

Forum Nokia was the sponsor and the event and is committed to catering to the needs of mobile developers in the city.
