#mobilitymeetup @ #idf09
IDF is one of my favorite Intel events for many reasons like checking out the latest gadget and mingling with total tech junkies. This year, to kick off IDF we combined those two elements for the #mobilitymeetup!

Meet the New Intel Insiders
Intel’s social media advisory program, dubbed the Intel Insiders, is now in its second year.
For the past few months we’ve collected feedback from our original Insiders and attended social media events searching for new people who could help us grow our advisory program.
We’re excited to have five new inspiring, talented people join six of our orginal Insiders. Our new Insiders are:
Intel Solid State Drives - SOLID!
This video gives a whole new meaning to ‘durable computing’…
and for those of you who don’t like math… 70C is 158F (that’s HOT!)

Innovation Involves Inclusion -- Traveling Geeks Meet Intel UK
The Traveling Geeks have hit their stride in the UK, where they’ve been meeting with movers and shakers turning to technology innovation as a way for improving start up businesses, education and government agencies.
On Monday, they met with my colleagues Perveen Akhtar and Tristan Wilkinson, Intel’s Public Sector director working to help the UK government leap ahead with its plans to bring better broadband to residents across the country. Here Tristan talks with Intel Insider and Traveling Geek JD Lasica.
Traveling Geeks Hit UK with Intel Inside
Sure it’s nice and sunny these days in the San Francisco Bay Area, but almost everyone I know has been bitten by the travel bug.
If the UK is one place you’re thinking about, then check out the Traveling Geeks, as dozen bloggers meet technology innovators, startup companies, educators and online networking enthusiasts from London and Cambridge to share best practices for online communication.
The Geeks are in the UK from July 5-11, and Intel is co-sponsoring the trip as an extension of the Intel Insiders program.
Friday Night Fights - Intel Style!!!
$80,000 in prizes are up for grabs.
When gamers get together - great things happen! I’m going to give this site a shot and try my best to frag some of the finest in gaming… that’s right, I’m going to be online - hoping to get some frags!!! Destructoid has brought back Friday Night Fights!
The games are ON, and the competition starts Friday July 3rd (here in the US) I’ve never tried Quake Live - so this should be fun!
Although, I’m not doing very well on the “Cosmic Cannon” game… (no laughs please!)
You can find more data on Friday Night Fights using Twitter #fnf hash tags, or even add @Dtoid into your favorite Twitter apps… plus you can add @Toadster too if you want (I’m pretty chatty lately about technology!)
In the words of Duke Nukem… COME GET SOME!
Intel Insiders Social Media Advisor Program Turns Two
Two steps forward and a half step back to see if we’re going in the right direction and bringing forward things that can help us leap into tomorrow. That’s how we’re celebrating the June 24 anniversary of our Intel Insiders social media adviser program.
Last year, my Global Communications teammates agreed that we’d benefit from fresh advice from people who are doing great things in the quickly advancing area of social media. We wanted to get more involved with the inspiration, talent and know-how we saw driving people to communicate and share experiences and knowledge online.
So we pulled together some long time acquaintances, invited a few new friends we admired and created the Intel Insiders.
Computex Watch -- The Skinny on Laptops, New Mobile Devices
Wow, lots of new innovations on being unveiled at Computex in Taipei during the first few days. I’ve been keeping my eyes on a few people there on the scene, and from there branching out to see the reaction from gadget lovers who aren’t at the show (like me).
Gizmodo’s Adrian Covert hit early with “Intel unleashed a flurry of new processors at Computex, including the T9900 Core 2 Duo, which clocks in at a speedy 3.06 GHz—the first Penryn-based Core 2 Duo chip to do so.” and Ubergizmo gave their take, “Intel Makes Mobile More Mobile @ Computex.”

Computex Watch: Mobile Gadgets, Laptops and WiMAX
Many eyes are turning to Taipei for this week’s Computex, the largest IT trade show in Asia that runs from June 2-6.
Every year, this is where new mobile technologies are unveiled, and this year I’m looking for the latest in laptops, netbooks, mobile Internet devices and WiMAX.
Here are a few Intel-related things I’ve seen blogged about prior to the show:
- New devices by Viliv
- Metrological’s Mediaconnect TV — the digital entertainment set top box Intel CE 3100 processor inside

WiMAX Gets a Rocketboom Tech Treatment
A week prior to getting Intel Insiders inside the Intel WiMAX labs in Hillsboro, Oregon, Rocketboom's Ellie Rountree took time during her Great Northwest visit to get a more in-depth, inside-the-labs experience of what WiMAX really is, how it works and why they call it 4G.
Intel Insiders Set to Explore Intel Fab, Labs and WiMAX in Oregon
Tomorrow and Friday, I'll be joining a handful of Intel Insiders to get an insider's, hands-on look at the Intel innovation engines rockin' in Oregon.
Tom Foremski shared his excitement about the trip this week, as did the Portland Social Media Club, which will join us for a Thursday evening Tweetup at the legendary Green Dragon.
In addition to visiting Intel's Fab 20, and the healthcare, My Wi-Fi and WiMAX labs, we're also taking the opportunity to have the Intel Insiders meet with our Intel's Center of Excellence and Software & Services Group, two groups pionnering Intel's social media efforts.
We'll be sharing the experience through @intel, and we'll share some videos and photos here on the Inside Scoop, Intel Fan page in Facebook and Channel Intel on YouTube.
The Great Debate: netbooks vs. notebooks
Netbooks are one of my favorite gadgets and as their popularity continues to grow a lot of people are wondering which is better: netbooks or notebooks? In reality one isn't necessarily better than the other because they have different functions. A netbook is a companion device that is great for keeping your bag nice and light while you travel but still allow most of the functionality of a regular laptop (among other things), while notebooks have more storage space and are nice for more complex tasks like gaming and creating large documents.Intel Posse and a Dozen MIDs Gettin' Busy at SXSW Interactive
A posse of Intel employees representing Arizona, California and Oregon are heading to the South by Southwest Interact festival from March 13-17.
We’ll be packin’ 15 new Mobile Internet Devices (MID), each powered by the tiny, might Intel Atom processor. If the wireless Gods are kind enough, three of the MIDs will be connected to the Internet through 3G while the others will tap into Wi-Fi available around downtown Austin, TX.
We’ll be there meeting with developers, mobile gadget experts like MIDmoves and many of the talented Intel Insiders like Frank Gruber, Brian Solis, Irina Slutsky, Sarah Austin and hopefully iJustin.

Brian Solis Eyes the Tiny Sony P Series
So small and super sleek that Intel Insider Brian Solis had to see it…touch it…capture it with his signature photographic style. I caught him in the act!
Not at CES? Watch it live on Techku from Intel booth
If you're like me, you're trying to stay on top of what's happening at CES right now from your cube in the office. Somehow its just not quite the same as being in the middle of the action in Vegas.
Fortunately, though, I can get the latest on so many of the cool gadgets and technology on display at CES online -- real time!
Video blogger extraordinaire and Intel Insider Sarah Austin (check her out on Pop17) is live-casting straight from the floor of CES at the Intel booth starting today through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Techku via Mogulus. And what's especially cool is that she'll be doing some of her broadcasting over Clear, 4G WiMAX network!

People & Technology Get Busy at CES 2009
I arrived in Las Vegas this afternoon and swiftly got registered and headed to the Intel booth, where I was greeted by swarms of people ready to get CES underway.
I hung out with Intel Insider Sarah Austin and her crew setting up inside the Intel both, prepping for the launch of her new 24/7 tech videocast channel on Mogulus called Techku.
Will TV and Internet Work Together Better at CES 2009?
After meeting Intel Insider JD Lasica a few weeks ago in San Francisco, I asked him what he was most interested in seeing happen at the Consumer Electronics Show 2009 in Las Vegas.
In his post Behold the Coming Cinematic Internet, Lasica shared a healthy perspective on the past and present challenges of getting television and Internet to move beyond the dating stage and into a deep, loving relationship inside our living rooms.
Hottest Gadgets of 2008
I'm publishing this guest post on behalf of Intel Insider Brian Solis, who agreed to share his list of favorite gadgets of the year.With CES right around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of the hottest gadgets to debut in 2008 - especially before we look forward to the most anticipated products set to hit the streets in 2009.
2008 was an almost overwhelming year rich with advancements and innovation that practically warrants a top 100 list to do it justice. However, I'll focus on the products that specifically had a direct or indirect impact on my day-to-day workflow, personal entertainment, and also those few products that are currently sitting on my wish list.
Without further ado, let's just jump right in. Listed in no particular order:
Jawbone
Jawbone's second-generation Bluetooth headset absolutely rocks for me. I upgraded from the bigger, bulkier first generation model the very day the new unit arrived in stores. It lives up to its promise, providing a personal NoiseAssassin (TM) to kill surrounding noise allowing you and the personal on the other end of the line to speak and hear clearly.

Shiny New Gadgets, Intel Insiders at CES 2009
We invited Intel Insider Somewhat Frank Gruber to meet Intel's chief geek CTO Justin Rattner last week in San Francisco to learn about Intel's "Eco-Innovation" research efforts.That's were we clicked the video record button and asked him about Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which is about a month away.
We've invited the Intel Insiders to join us at the Intel booth on Friday, January 9, 2009. So now we're all sharing ideas for gettin' the most out of our time together in Vegas.
Ubergizmo Tech Party: Netbooks, MIDS & Intel Insiders
Here is a quick recap of the Ubergizmo party in San Francisco last night. In case you are wondering, Intel and Federated Media sponsored the event, hence the reason I was there rubbing elbows with the important people.
We - meaning Intel - had small table with a bunch of Netbooks, Centrino 2 laptops, MIDS and a brand-spanken-new Dell XPS powered by the Core i7. I also met and interviewed some really cool peeps -- Patrick Haynes, Director of Photography for Podtech; Xavier Lanier, founder of Notebooks.com; and Norman Liang from Photobucket (interviews to come next week so be on the look out).
Several of the Intel Insiders were there; although I didn't get a chance to meet with many of them. I did chat for a few minutes with Sarah Austin and Cathy Brooks. Other notable Insiders that attended the party were Irina Slutsky, JD Lasica and Tom Foremski.

Uber10 Top Holiday Gadgets for Under $400
I've been a fan of tech and gadget blog Ubergizmo since first meeting "everywhere" co-founder Hubert Nguyen in April 2008 at a Lunch 2.0 event.A few months later, I met Ubergizmo's other co-founder, Eliane Fiolet, first through Facebook and later at the launch of Intel Centrino 2 and the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
The two entrepreneurs work hard and love what they do...and it shows.
When I heard about the Uber10 party they held in 2007, I was fired up. I always dig a good top 10 list, especially when it relates to holiday gift ideas.
I asked if we could help grow the Uber10 event this year, and that's what I hope to see at invite-only gathering at San Francisco's Mighty club this evening.
