Talking Android at SMX Advanced

I will be speaking at SMX Advanced in Seattle on June 2nd, 2009 as I talk about the role Android will play within the Mobile Search panel.
On this panel I will talk about how Android is tearing down the mobile “walled gardens” allowing more phones and thus people extended Internet access.
This extended Internet access of course is attractive to advertisers who will want to know what are the best mobile marketing opportunities and how to effectively engage them.
I feel very strongly that this year mobile and location based social media will merge into the mainstream due in large part to both the iPhone & Android phones.
Loopt and Google’s Latitude are the emerging forays into this space and as they grow they provide a very enticing audience to market to.
Then its simply a matter of providing the ability to effectively reach these users in an non obtrusive manner while reaching them at the right time and most importantly, place.
Anyone know of an effective mobile advertising placement service or at least one with the potential to be?
Please also let me know if you will be attending SMX Advanced or in the Seattle Wasington area in early June - save $200 by registering here by Friday May 1st.
