Should we officially expand this group to include Android?

As far as I can tell, there's no dedicated Android group for Brighton
(which is a pity).

I know that a lot of people here do Android "as well", and it often
comes up in discussions (especially w.r.t.
PhoneGap/Titanium/jQuery/etc).

But I've had a couple of people shy away from attending or speaking,
afraid that this was "anti Android". Personally, doing both iOS and
Android, I'd say they're very similar in a lot of ways, and I'd be
happy with including both.

(when asked, I've always said: "it's the iPhone group because when I
started it, iPad, Android, etc hadn't launched yet")

I will vote with my feet and turn up for a cheeky beverage or two regardless of conversation topic.

I think it would be interesting to also include Windows Mobile 7.5. I'm quite keen to hear more about it and am currently lusting after a Nokia Lumia 800.

That is all,

Chris

Nice idea! Would be quite cool to learn a bit of Android init.

Agreed.
I agree with Chris re Windows stuff too.

Maybe it should be Brighton Mobile Dev group, rather than just iPhone

At last!  All that stuff I read about J2ME will come in useful!

Sadly, someone has registered "mobilebrighton.com" anonymously, and
stuck an empty folder on there (just an icon file)

mobilebrighton.co.uk has been taken by Steve L - not sure if he's
using it at the moment, it's password protected.

Yes, a generic mobile dev group is the way to go. It will be good to get some new topics & fresh blood into the group.

All sound too similar. I'd never be able to remember which one it was.

I would love a brighton mobile developers group. I have been playing around with windows phone dev (been doing enterprise .net dev for 8 or so years). I was going to trek up to some of the London wp user group meetups & would be happy to "report back".

I am also keen to get stuck into android dev so would love to hear some android talks.

Wendy

Couldn't we set up three brighton groups, one for iOS, one for Android and one for Windows?  Then you could just subscribe to the ones you are interested in.
