360idev and what I take away

The 360idev was an excellent event with a total crowd near 300 strong. I spent time trying to talk to as many people as I could just to learn what is really taking place in the industry of apple. Right now I am sitting in a code optimization session that is mostly boring to me, but I end up having an understanding of coding a little bit better.

The iphone industry is shifting as a whole. The hacker community that unleashed all these wonderful abilities for the iphone is upset b/c their special features are going live in os4.0 . More Microsoft guys are jumping ship to bring enterprise capabilities to the iphone. The crowd was probably split 50/50 in terms of game devs and enterprise guys. I was expecting the enterprise guys to be 20% tops.

I think I only went to 2 sessions that had about 5 mins of relative value, but the majority were excellent.
