sean lynch - the future of mobile productivity
DESCRIPTION
Startupfest 2014 - Smartphone adoption continues unabated and tablets are rapidly cannibalizing PC sales, but productivity workers still hold onto their computers. In this session, Sean will look at the trends behind the newest generation of mobile productivity apps, how app developers and OEMs are working to make road warriors productive on their tablets and phones, and how the mobile operating systems are trying to support or, in some cases, fight against it. You'll learn about the tactics that are working for Dropbox and other apps, and the opportunities for motivated companies to become essential in powering mobile productivity workers in this rapidly changing ecosystem.TRANSCRIPT
