O2 Litmus Update

Hello All,

Lots to update you regarding O2 Litmus.

We have delivered a couple of new software releases in the past week, bringing some great new functionality to O2 Litmus. First was the introduction of "Premium Testing" powered by our partner Mob4Hire. You can read the press release from Mobile World Congress here.

Next up, in response to Developer demand, we have introduced support for web based services. So now a developer is not forced to offer a downloadable application when they publish a new project. Now the offer can simply be a URL based service consumed via the mobile phone or PC web browser. We hope this move opens up a rich vein of creativity and starts to move O2 Litmus into catering for PC as well as mobile users.

We have our "Live Road Mapping" session coming up next week which we are all excited about. The original allocation of tickets was quickly snapped up so we added a few more. Be sure to register asap. It will be a great opportunity to meet the team behind O2 Litmus, network with likeminded people, and most importantly tell us how you want O2 Litmus to develop over the coming months. You can get all the details here.

Before we know it the Summer conference season will be upon us and after the stir we have created since launch, O2 Litmus is in demand!!

Here is my current 2009 "fixture list", I hope to see you at one of these events:

Mobile Operator Smart Pipes & Applications, London, 19-20th May, 2009
Mobile Web 2.0 Summit, London, 3rd - 4th June, 2009

Until next time,

James

Been messing about recording off my Roland TD-12. mixing in an iPod feed so the drums overlay on top of the original songs. Here's a couple of tracks. Not perfect but you get the idea...
