Photo Caller ID, and AgileMessenger —the Trillian of SmartPhones, which brings together Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and ICQ instant messengers. She was also fortunate enough to attend CES last week, so she's sure to have some great info of great new stuff coming down the pipeline.
Rey Flores, Co-Manager SFMCS (and also Co-Editor for www.MPx200.org), will be sharing his experience with his MPx200, the MPx200.org website, and will present some demonstrations on value adding software titles for the MS Smartphone.
