Thanks to all for coming! The event was a success. The videos will shortly be online. Again, sorry for the live feed issue, we ended up broadcasting via Qik on two iPhones, for ustream.tv was not working correctly.

Special thanks to Joseph Tame for being the cameraman.

Personally, I was glad to be surrounded by such smart guys like Steve, Mike and Andrew on stage. Learnt a lot.

Cheers

Does e-mailing crazy Japanese go for smart phone ?
Does game-crazy Japanese go for i-Phone?
Does e-mail-averse Gaijin go for smart phone ?
