It's been quite a year in the world of mobile apps and we've had a ton of fun building out the EQO service at the front of the pack this year. There is a huge amount of pride among the team here at what we've accomplished both inside the company and among our community of EQO users.

For all the users who have joined the EQO network and given feedback to the team and on the to improve the service - Thank You!

To all the EQO users and fans out there, please take a moment to nominate us for one or more of the following awards ("The Crunchies") run by techcrunch.com.

This past weekend Vancouver had its very own MobileCampVancouver event organized by the Handi Mobility team.

I was on the mobile industry panel with Dennis Knothe of Nokia, Harmander Gill of Wavefront, Dr. Richard Smith of SFU, and Jim Udall of QuickMobile.

Jim and I ended up debating very different views on the future of mobile web platforms, making for a spirited discussion. The ultra short version - I was very bullish on mobile web technologies to expand the mobile developer base, Jim saw mobile web tech as over-hyped and that existing platforms (SMS / MMS / J2ME / Symbian) will rule at the expense of web technologies. Proof that reasonable people can differ even on fundamental issues.

As is always the case, the time allotted was very short - Jim, I hope we can continue the discussion another time!
