as I have, the MAX Central app. should prove very helpful in making sure I'm
at the right place at the right time I'd imagine that for anyone at the
conference who wants to get as muchfrom their time there as they can, it
will prove the same. Looking forward to seeing many of you in a few days...

I love the MAX app. I think it's a great little utility and the developers
certainly deserve praise for it. I just don't know how many people are
going
to want to try and whip out a laptop between sessions to quickly check
what's going on. I know from other conferences that there was sometimes
barely time to make it from session to session.
Last year at Devcon and at the FlashForward, they had PocketPC flash
widgets. They may not have done everything the MAX Central app does but
what
was there was right in the palm of the hand.
Ah well. I look forward to seeing everyone at MAX!
Cheers gang.
