They provide an online, wireless and television platform of programming created by teens and targeted toward teens. Kelly Hoffman, CEO, is a great speaker. For full disclosure, I used to do some PR work for them, but I don't any more -- this is not a PR pitch. I really do think what they are doing is interesting and Kelly always told the most interesting stories. I've actually thought about getting him to speak in one of my classes about convergence.

I'm a software engineer working for Palm on some of their future products, and I'm also author of a book on web applications for Palm OS handhelds and former lead for CodeWarrior for Palm OS. I also live here in Austin :) I'd be interested in participating and talking about smartphones, especially since Palm now has both Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices in our roster. Hey!
