Just to draw your attention to a recent talk delivered by Derek McManus, CTO of O2 UK at the 'Planet of the Apps' conference in London (note the link goes to the 2011 show site, I can't seem to find any archive content from the recent event, which is a shame) Derek explores the approach Telefonica and O2 are taking to work more collaboratively with the developer community in this edit of the full talk. Derek McManus, Planet of the Apps, November 2010 from O2 Litmus on Vimeo. To hear more from Derek, check out this recent Podcast he recorded with us, exploring the challenges of optimising mobile apps for the mobile network environment.
