LAUNCH PAD Tablet Event Oct. 21
I had the opportunity to attend the Launch Pad event in Mountain View, California (Silicon Valley area) on October 21, 2011. The experience was bountiful. Time management and presentations were good. The event was also very informative.
25 ipad applications (or improvements to existing apps) were presented. The event was a full day including lunch with the developers / presenters and drinks afterwards.
Condition One was voted the best by the an app that I believe could disrupt the way cinema is captured and displayed to the end user.
