Part of the upcoming event on the evening of November the 30th - of
which more will be announced in the next few days - is a demo fest
where anybody who feels motivated to can have the stage and a device
projector for 5 minutes to show off their latest and greatest
capability.

The audience will include members of the local funding community as
well as the usual suspects. Note that this is separate from the
pitches for the MoMo peer awards - you can do either or both as you
wish.

Can folks willing to do a demo please let me know by email asap.

Kind regards,

Geoff.

PS. Richard Marshall has kindly offered an informal workshop on demo
and pitching technique at some stage the week before. He will post
details of that in due course.

I'm kind-of interested in doing a demo. Are there still slots? I'm not
interested in pitching for the MoMo peer awards.

One of the things I'm developing is a synthesiser/sequencer for the iPhone.
Currently, the most complete version is on a simulation of the iPhone on a
Windows PC. I can bring a laptop but I'd need a projector and speakers.

What I want is feedback on the user-interface. It's hard to get the
functions that users expect into such a tiny screen. There has to be a
different metaphor instead of the usual "patch panel". Have I chosen the
right one?

As I say, I don't particularly want to "pitch a demo to investors", I want
feedback on the user-i/f from other mobile developers. Maybe you think this
isn't the right venue.
