On Wednesday 24 November I attended to the Wireless Forum Fall event and in particular I followed the Mobile Fun Forum 2004 conference.
The last year my Ecpc won the Cellulari.it Special Award at the first edition of the Mobile Fun Awards and my friends of Impressionware did a big applause when I went on the stage to get the prize. This time they won the Best Gameplay Award for their Java game Metal Racers: Quad Bikes and I had the pleasure to congratulate with them, so I can say the circles closed perfectly!
This year the event took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Milan. The expo area was much bigger and the event was divided into four main forums: the WLAN Business, the Mobile Office, the Mobile Fun and the Spam Forum.
I followed some very interesting presentations during the morning in the Mobile Fun Forum area and I had the chance to meet with some old friends such as Pietro Montelatici of Bryo, Tiziano Creola of Cellulari.it, Fabio Viola of Wireless Gaming and the always kind Marco Comelli of Wireless. Very good to know that wireless technologies is getting even more attention in our country, although mobile gaming and PDA sectors are not certainly at the pace of other countries.

        

If you’re curious to know if I passed the selections of the Premio Palinsesto Italia contest, well, the answer is no, as they communicated me a few days ago. No problem with that, but since in any contest part of the fun is in participating, I asked them if the participants will have the chance to show their projects during the two days of the event, set to take place on 10th and 11th December in Bologna, but they told me this was not in program for the first edition of the contest and that they won’t even manage to publish all the submitted projects on the website too soon. Although I’m curious to know more about the selected finalist projects I doubt I’ll go to attend to the prize-giving as I was going to do, too much things to do here to prepare for the release of version 1.4 of Ecpc.
