Joshua Minor, Developer Evangelist at Greystripe
The iPad is hyped to be the next big media device: perfect for surfing, watching, reading and especially playing. But is the iPad a huge step up for Apps or just another outlet among many? As the leader in rich media and large format advertising for Apps, we’ll bring our unique perspective on the big possibilities for this big new screen. From technical considerations to recent case studies, we’ll share our insights on how ad supported apps succeed on iPhone, and how that will translate to Apple’s newest cool toy.

Adam Blum CEO, Rhomobile
Adam will demonstrate how Rhodes and RhoHub can be used to build compelling iPad apps quickly that also run natively on other smart phones. Best practices of designing apps for the iPad and tablet devices will be shown.

Monetize the iPad
Nitin Chitkara - VP, Business Development, Mobclix
The new dimensions and greater processing abilities of the iPad open up a world of possibilites for monetization. Mobclix will offer new ad sizes as well as video and rich media advertising. We'll give you the inside scoop on how monetization is different on the iPad, and why that means developers can get higher eCPMs and even more relevant advertising.

Richard Jordan, Founder & CEO of AppWhirl, Inc.
The iPad is an intermediate step for consumers, from smartphones to true consumer electronics devices, like TVs and set-top-boxes. We're seeing a rapid move towards consuming content and internet services through simple apps, and the iPad accelerates this trend. AppWhirl will share its learning about this market, from three months in beta, in advance of our upcoming launch at DEMO 2010.
