[edit] About the Gizmo freaks Collective

Own a latest Gizmo and want to show it off? Came across a cool gizmo that left you drooling? Head to straight to the Gizmo freaks collective where we discuss what's hot and what's not in the gadget/gizmo space. The emphasis is on showcasing how you can exploit your gadget. The gadget doesn't have to be the latest. You can even showcase how you exploit your aging Palm III or even a Nokia 3310!!! Cell phones, MP3 players, Cameras, Digital Cameras, Portables, Camcorders, USB devices, laptops and anything else. Come and be shocked by the passions and the learning you will take away! You don't necessarily need to be a gadget guru, you only need to be in excited gizmos.

[edit] Topics you'd like to hear about

[edit] Proposed Sessions

1. Nokia S60 Platform Kiran Jonnalagadda - Discussion on Nokia's S60 v3 platform as seen in the N- and E-series phones. What's good, what's not and what you should know that will improve your experience. Free apps, non-free but worth paying for apps, accessories, tips and tricks.
2. Sony Ericcson 750i Arun Ramarathnam - So you thought the 750 with its 2M pixel camera is now getting passe! Think again. Come and see how to get the moneys worth from out phone. This aint a smartphone but sure is one helluva a phone thats smart! What all can you do? Moblogging, Chat, EMail, Browsing, News feeds (rss) and a whole lot more.... Who needs a S60 ;-)
3. Palm Family Srinivas Yelandur- The future is not in the palm of your hand, it is the Palm!! How true. Isn't? Right from the earlier generations of the Palm Pilot 1000 to the next generation smartphones, palm has had a product at every stage. So those of you who have those old pilots, III, Xe, V, Vx, m Series or whatever with the Palm logo and all the treo freaks take your palm out for a walk,let it get some sunshine and lets see what we can do to have a rolling palm family reunion.

[edit] Gizmo Trading

Got a used gizmo that's no longer feeling the love? Give it new company! Bring the gizmos that you're not using enough and want to trade: maybe somebody will fancy it. Cash-based trades are acceptable, blatant retailing is. - Kiran Jonnalagadda

[edit] Collective Registration

Please do not register here. You need to use the collective registration page.

[edit] Schedule

Depending on the turn out and the schedule of other collectives we will take a consensus on when to have a demo/discussion. I propose we meet outside the canteen at 9 AM to introduce the group and chalk out the agenda. I would appreciate if someone in this group can bring a laptop. We need not sit in a room as the lawns suit us just fine. So please call me at 9886125774 in case you have any ideas, or issues for this collective grouping.
