I’ll be hosting 2 live sessions today that I hope you’ll be able to join in on. The first is the MeetMobility Computex Podcast with Sascha and JKK out in Taiwan, myself back in the studio and special guest, Joanna Stern from Engadget joining us from New York. That will start at 1500 CEST (9am New York, 9pm Taipei, other times here.) and you can join in by tuning to MeetMobility.com/live It will be recorded and available later today.
The second event is a live open presentation and Q&A on the Dell Streak. That will start at 2100 CEST (Midday San Francisco, 2000 UK, other times here.) I don’t have a full retail model but the device I have allows me to show you around the device, demonstrate some features, give you some thoughts and answer your questions. So far the device is living up to all my expectations with the extra bonus that the battery life appears to be better than I thought. Unfortunately JKK can’t join us because he’s still out in Taipei and by the time he gets back to his studio on Wednesday, I’ll be away on another commitment until the week after. We might have a few Streak owners from the UK joining the chat though so it will be the perfect chance to get together to talk about the device from multiple perspectives. Video and chat will be running at Carrypad.com/live. I’ll be bringing the Sony Ericsson X10, Viliv S5 and Archos 5 for comparison. See you there.

I’ve just got back to the hotel after hosting the MeetMobility podcast 43 live from the Intel booth at MWC where Sascha Pallenberg (NetbookNews), Matthäus Krzykowski (Agora 9 Group and contributor to VentureBeat,) Hubert Nguyen (Ubergizmo,) Monty Metzger (Ahead of Time and founder of Mocom 2020) and myself talked over the important topics coming out of MWC. We took a few minutes to put together and agenda that included hardware, software and business. We steered clear of pure phone-related topics (as is normal) for the podcast and ended up with this set of bullet points which is a good representation of the top mobile-computing news at MWC.
Products
Dell Mini 5 Well-equipped 3G enabled MID running Android.
Compaq AirLife 100 Android-based touchscreen netbook-style device that introduces the ‘always on’ model of computing.
MeeGo The joint venture between Intel and Nokia to provide a single Linux-based software stack that can be used across multiple device segments using different CPU architechtures.
Flash 10.1 GPU-aware version of Adobe Flash arriving soon on a number of devices and platforms in including Android (the new HTC Desire for example.)
The rest of the podcast was spent talking about the developer community. Matthaus had some great input from his work with mobile start-ups and we hope we can bring you the full podcast soon so you can hear that important input. We had some problems recording the full show on Ustream due to poor Wifi coverage but we have another source that we’ll edit-up and bring to you on the usual MeetMobility podcast channel as soon as we can.
That’s what we’re seeing from within MWC. How are people seeing it from the outside? What news is rising to the top for you?
