You'll also learn how to address end-user support concerns and keep the end-user happy for the long-term. Additional sessions outline how the Palm OS developer support team and Platform licensees are structured to support their customer base: you, the Palm OS developer.

Enterprise Seminars
For enterprise users, such as CIOs and IT managers, business professionals and strategic planners, educators, and power mobile device users, PalmSource will hold a lot of valuable opportunities as well. You have the chance to network, share experiences and ideas, and get a first look at the new technological innovations that will help you lead your business in the twenty-first century.

According to a study by Winn Technology Group, 85 percent of Fortune 1000 companies with a mobile device standard have selected the Palm OS. Palm OS devices are being brought into enterprises by the thousands, causing IT organizations to place them on standards lists. To take advantage of this growing market, enterprise solution providers are adapting existing applications and developing new ones designed to take advantage of the mobile platform. Meanwhile, Palm's licensees and partners are customizing devices to meet the needs of specific industries.

What this means for you is more options when choosing the range of solutions that are right for your company. While this has obvious advantages, the down side is you could become overwhelmed by all the different choices. That's what makes an event like PalmSource such a great opportunity. You'll have the chance to speak with developers and marketers first-hand to better sort out the pros and cons of the various solutions you'll discover.
