Mobile today may be an afterthought for most of you. I guarantee that will change. I strongly suggest you start taking mobile seriously in your development projects.

Overall message seems to be learn your role as developer is critical, will stay critical, and the tools you are using will not go away, but there learning to integrate all the new tools into what you are doing is critical. Listen to the podcast of my conversation with Tom Duff after the session to get a better, more complete description of  the session, the message, and a readl developer's point of view on what it was all about. It should be available later today here
