It was a great time attending the Mobile Rules 2008 Awards Dinner. Here are the Awards in pictures. The rotunda inside the new San Jose City Hall was quite a nice setting. The high ceiling and glass was very modern and comfortable.
List of all the Sponsors.
Dig that logo for the event! Nokia certainly went all out to make the event special.
During the dinner portion of the event, I sat next to Anina, Founder of Anina / 360Fashion Network. I was amazed that her business cards had one email address, but 4 mobile phone numbers! Her device of choice is the Nokia N95 and she is a Nokia Champion.
