Multimedia BoF at SEE 2010

Are you…

• a keen user of multimedia functionality (music, video, camera, etc.) on your phone?
• an app developer using or planning to use multimedia features?
• a platform developer working on multimedia components in the OS?
• a supplier of multimedia codecs or HW adaptation code?
• a provider of multimedia services targeting phones?
• just generally interested in multimedia on phones?

If the answer to any of those questions was “yes” and you’re attending SEE 2010 next week in Amsterdam, then you should come on down and join the Multimedia Birds of a Feather session!

It’s on Tuesday 9. November (Day 1), 15:20 – 16:30 in the “Derkinderen Kamer” room on the 1st floor. I’ll bring some snacks so you just need to bring yourselves!

Symbian phones today have lots of megapixels, HD video, surround sound etc., so what’s next? 3D? Better integration with home entertainment systems? More powerful creativity tools like image and video editors? This is an opportunity for you to share your views on where mobile multimedia is going and what the Symbian platform should do to enable the best possible user and developer experiences in this area.

Ideally, the outcome will be some awesome ideas that can be fed back to platform developers to help them improve the Symbian platform. As a package owner working at Nokia, I will certainly be sharing relevant ideas and suggestions with my team and other fellow package owners here. If we have representatives from other companies doing platform development I would encourage them to do the same.

On a related note, if you’d like to discuss multimedia-related contributions or collaboration opportunities then please get in touch with me ( james [dot] nash [at] nokia [dot] com ) and we can set up a meeting at SEE. I’ll be there on both days.
