Agenda:
We’ll kick off with a tablet market update and then move to a panel discussion with some of the key players: Qualcomm, RIM, Samsung, Motorola and ZTE.
Also, we’ll have product demos of soon to be release devices!
Join us for a drink from 6-8:30 at Grappa’s Cellar — Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place, Central.
Be sure to register to reserve a spot (2 drink coupons at the door). Qualcomm is our sponsor for the evening.
