Dear !
2012 is well on its way with tons of mobile events. Hang on, it is going to be a wild event ride.
Our friends over at BlueVia are celebrating their 1st birthday by giving developers a chance to win a MacBook Air and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus - yeah, the Ice Cream Sandwich one. Click here for all the details.
Here at WIP, we are getting ready for our Party and WIPJam @ MWC 2012. We look forward to seeing many familiar as well as new faces. In March, WIP will be in Paris for Le Hackathon. Check below for more information.
Don't forget to check the Mobile Community Calendar for mobile events taking place all over the world. If you know of one that isn't listed, please add. We are striving to make the MCC "the" place to find mobile events.
Until next month,
Teresa

Jan 8, 2012 Las Vegas, NV
WIP provided the "FUN" at the AT&T Registration Reception, attended by over 600 Summit participants. It was a great night with developers and other mobile ecosystem members, choosing 3 or 4 buttons that reflected who they are to pin onto their lanyards. With equal number of each button available, the Android one was the first to run out reflecting the large number of Android developers at the Summit. Beer drinkers, Wine drinkers, Apple developers, Cocktail drinkers Buttons were not far behind.
The Buttons allowed for identification of like minded people and provided entry to various activities based on the pins during the evening: Frequent Fliers designed and threw paper airplanes, Red Wine Drinkers received an exclusive wine at the bar, T-shirts (developers) created "funky ties" with scissors & stickers for prizes and devices.
