I had the pleasure on Monday to contribute to the Swiss MobileMonday by speaking about iPhone development, what makes the experience so special and how you can learn from Apple’s concepts for other mobile initiatives by applying Open Source concepts to assemble solutions.

The event was sponsored by Swisscom and introduced by the chairman Walter Steinlin, Head of Swisscom Outlook, former CTO and Head of Swisscom Innovations.

Claude Florin did a great job in facilitating the panel with the speakers Tim Haysom (CMO of OMTP) who talked about the BONDI initiative, Martin Gafner and Andreas Zuber from Puzzle ITC with a great introduction to the neo freerunner with OpenMoko, Reto Senn (COO and Co-Founder of Bitforge) and Nicolai Finke Product Manager with Esmertec.

It was interesting to see how it was really a 1.0 (fragmented mobile handset world) vs. 1.5 (clean end-to-end experience with the iPhone) discussion. The group agreed, that 1.0 is broken to a certain extent, but it was also clear that the iPhone and it’s eco system are by far not perfect and therefor more 1.5 than 2.0.

See all the speakers and presentations at the MobileMonday website.
