BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.

SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Ben: that’s actually what I like about this. I used to have a Blackberry and got carpal tunnel cause I typed too much on that with my thumbs. I want a device that doesn’t encourage me to type on it. I also want a device that looks like a phone. And puts voice as the most important feature. But then I carry my Tablet PC everywhere I go. Reading email on this, though, is a dream.

Actually the phone is marketed as “Cingular 2125” and doesn’t carry the Audiovox name. It’s actually a HTC Faraday under the covers with Cingular’s name on it. Cingular employees are confused by it since it’s the first phone at Cingular that has only their name on it.
You can read a review of the phone here:

PS: My 2125 is on order, I hope it’s at my house when I get home tonight. 😉

Cingular is probably buying it from UT Starcom, though (aka the company formerly known as Audiovox). But that’s just a guess.

I still think my PPC-6700 is better. It’s bigger, but it has a bigger screen (better for video) – the same functionality of the Smartphone, and the option to slide out the awesome keyboard.
But most of all, it’s got a better network. Cingular’s puny 35Kbps GPRS or even their “high-speed” EDGE network are nothing compared to the 500Kbps network I get everywhere (or 120Kbps fallback I get in the boonies) with Sprint.

If all I need is a phone, then Windows Mobile is a waste of resources.
If I need more than a phone, then things like this phone or the earlier SMT models are useless.
The PPC-6601 spanks this phone like a bratty child, and works MUCH better with my Mac than any of the wee Smartphones. God love Apple’s OS Bluetooth integration and Mark/Space.

Who wants to carry around a PDA as a phone tho? Differing strokes, for differing folks. Some want a voice phone, others want a Blackberry, other’s want a phone as phone with some smartish features. That’s all subjective. No right answer.
My point was when you look at the wide-open playing field of phones, from Symbian on down, the MFST Windows Mobile phones have but an adoption rate of extreme edge markets, mainly in the Seattle area, kinda like Tablet PCs. 😉

Still very leery of any phone with MS Software on it. I remember the first Motorola smartphones required daily resets. Just not into rebooting my phone to get it working. Have a good friend with the older Audiovox model and it was pretty cool except still would hang occasionally. Even once a week is too much.
Sticking with my Moto 815. No rebooting/resetting needed and puts voice first. And Verizon has coverage from my house. Have you seen the latest Consumer Reports review of cell carriers?

Brett: so far this phone is a lot better than my old one. Much better voice quality. Much better reception (works in places my old phone didn’t). 4x better screen. Better buttons and controls too. Hasn’t crashed yet, but your experience might vary. I’ll talk with Ford Davidson and see if we can’t get you one, cause having it a couple of weeks will sure make a believer out of you.

Christopher – I’m not sure you’re right there, I got my C500 in the expectation that it would be a toy rather than a decent phone and I was very surprised by just how good a phone it is and its good enough at the PDA type stuff that I don’t carry a PDA around.
However the limitations of /not/ having a PDA are such that if a slightly larger lump gets me one device to carry round that includes a WiFi speaking PDA then that would be worthwhile for me – but not for either of my bosses for whom the C500 has been ideal for the past year.
One size doesn’t fit all.

Sorry Scoble, but this phone was hot before you got your hands on it. I ordered mine a week ago. I’ve been waiting for it ever since Microsoft demoed it to me at a tradeshow back in October.
The real problem is that very few Cingular stores are stocking them. Most want to sell out their existing inventory before they add the new models, so the only place you could get it was online or by calling Cingular.
Of course now that you let the cat out of the bag everyone else will want one too. I just wish they’d wait until mine arrives! 🙂
