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.
Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html
++++++++
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.'

Which card did you get? Hopefully the Aircard 860 or Novatel U730 that support HSDPA. Most Cingular stores don’t understand the difference between these new cards and the old cards that only support EDGE. It’s awesome using these cards- no need to bother with Wifi anymore (as long as you’re in a city that has HSDPA deployed).

Where does it say that Anina was told to stop blogging? The way I read her blogs, it seems that her agency said that she must “quit doing the technology stuff”.
It wouldn’t make any sense at all to say “blogging and fashion” don’t go together, because there are plenty of fashion blogs. On Technorati, for example, you will see that on average each day, there are about twice as many blogs that are tagged “Fashion”, as there are that are tagged “Visual Basic”.
Having said that, I’m not clear what Anina’s modelling agency has against tech. And, as a point of fact, they’re just plain wrong to say that “fashion and tech don’t go together”. Surely they must realise that customers for haute couture fashion and off-the-shelf high-end designer clothes are, largely, rich women. And rich women have to get their money somewhere. Either they make the money themselves; or they have rich husbands/boyfriends.
And where do a significant percentage of rich people get their money from? Errrr…. Tech. The technology industry has been responsible for creating many of the world’s millionaires. Bottom line: many of the paying customers of companies in the fashion industry come from tech homes. So… the *only* good reason I can think of to ask Anina to stop doing her tech stuff, would be if she is turning down work that agency can get for her, because of tech committments.
I think Anina should at least explore seeing if other agencies would let her do both her tech stuff and her modelling. I don’t trust what her current agency says on this – given that the people there are apparently so retarded that they don’t even know who pays their bills.

The fashion industry wants models to be hangars for the clothes. They’re there to sell product, not overshadow it. The less they do outside of modeling, the better.
The iPod’s success is also due to its simplicity of use, and the way Apple made it easy for people to build accessories and integration kits for it. What can you do with all the rest? Plug it into a 1/8″ jack at best, and now you have to control it separately from your radio. Ooooh, exciting. The iPod? Get the kit, and you control it VIA your stereo. That’s what makes all the car companies so excited about it.

Robert:I suspect you’re right. Apparently, one of things that happened in the early 1990s, when a clutch of “supermodels” (Naomi, Linda, Cindy, Christie et al.) became really well-known in their own right, was that many in the modelling industry vowed never to let invididual models become powerful again.

Robert,
Well apparently Cingular has rolled out HSDPA in a few cities already, which is roughly the same speed the the EV-DO connection Sprint has been offering for a while now.
So right now it breaks down like this:
Cingular
~500kbps in test markets (about 8 US cities, includes Seattle)
~120kbps in EDGE markets.
~35kbps everywhere else.
Spint
~500kbps in EV-DO markets (100+ cities, includes Seattle)
~120kbps everywhere else.
So as long as your card supports HSDPA it isn’t that bad after all. And apparently Sprint charges the same thing to non-voice customers.
Still, it seems pretty crazy to pay that much for a card when you could have an entire phone with the same connection (shared via USB or bluetooth) *with* a voice plan for less than half of that cost.

The Anina case to me seems about continuing the old strereotypes of women as arm candy. The agency does not seem to realize it is 2006.
All we can do is offer her as much support as possible with dealing with the oldskool types.

“I keep coming back to the iPod.”
Actually, you seem to be avoiding it quite doggedly for months now. And related issues. (Yeah, yeah, you’ll mention Patrick loves it, but you’ve avoided: rumors of MS iPod, the death of WMP for Mac, Google Video, Apple’s results and clear dominance, Napster layoffs, expansion of video selection, as well as the general topics of media and music and portable devices that cropped up every other day for over a year straight.)
“It’s the combination of the technology with fashion and culture.”
You still don’t get it.
“Match Anina up with an inventor and you’ll have an interesting marketing combo.”
Ha, ha, ha!!! Freakin’ hilarious! This brilliant marketing plan is almost as good as the Elton John(athon Ives) Plan. Sex up a geek with a model: that’ll sell stuff! Whatever, Scoble.

Wow, they want her to focus on what they’re paying her to do control the image of the products that she’s representing. What an unreasonable demand.
She wasn’t hired as a blogger model or an internet socialite. The fact that she didn’t work with her agency up front on how and when to incorporate technology into her work (and their image) was clearly a poor decision. There are a thousand other women with equal or greater physical beauty that would be happy to just do their job.

Brandon- HSDPA is available in a few cities now, with virtually all of Cingular’s towers scheduled to be upgraded by the end of 2007. In Phoenix I get 1.5mb/s real-world on average, but more importantly, very low latency. It’s faster than my DSL at home.
All in all, it’s great to have Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon in heated competition for cellular data because it’s making deployment of new technologies go faster and faster. The projection for 3G is be at 100mb/s down and 50mb/s up by 2012. The future is very bright, indeed.

Right now if i were to walk down to a vodafone store (only GSM provider), it would cost me about US$400 just for the card…
US$80 a month would buy me exactly 512MB’s a month and we are talking GPRS here… i think they JUST introduced a 1GB plan and thats about double the price and if you exceed 1GB they cut you off under a fair use policy.
I mean, they still offer bloody CSD here, makes me wanna cry 😦
