Come learn about app stores with SandCHI

Hooray!  SandCHI, a San Diego user group dedicated to sharing research and ideas in computer-human interaction, is coming back from hiatus tomorrow by hosting a presentation on mobile app stores.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about the nuances of a mobile development ecosystem and how we can optimize the user experience.  Introduction from speaker Phil Ohme on the SandCHI mailing list:

Improving Mobile and App Store User Experiences
From the iPhone to the gPhone to the Pre, cutting edge mobile technologies promise to deliver new services to us. Yet how successfully are they achieving this and how could they be improved?  Part of their success, as Apple’s 1 billionth download demonstrates, is the ability to get a range of content easily. However, app stores have room for improvement, and they’re just the beginning for designing mobile ecosystems for customers.  Are you thinking about a mobile website or mobile app for your company? Is the mobile web just like the regular web?  What makes the iPhone so special and successful? Join us for the talk to find out.

The talk is Tuesday, May 12 at 5:45 at Websense, with dinner and drinks to follow.  I’ll definitely be there, so email info at sandchi.org if you’d like to come with!
