I was at the Great Indian Developer Summit as a key note speaker. I talked about how Mobile Java (J2ME) could accelerate convergence and how it has been keeping pace with the growth of converged devices. My talk was primarily focused on convergence happening at the high end like that of smart phones.
D Shiv Kumar, Managing Director of Nokia India also addressed a jam packed audience at his key note session. He mentioned on how mobiles had cannibalized torch, calculator, watch, alarm clock, mini paper phone book and so on for the masses. He talked about how convergence at the lower end gives more value to the masses. Very true, simple ideas like torch in a mobile phone makes a common man in an Indian village more happy than a city dweller who gets NFC on his mobile.
