Making Mashups Mobile: Intel Corporation, Amazon and Elephant Drive have cooperated to implement a mashup that improves the mobile aspects of an existing web solution. Elephant Drive will be presenting a real-life example of how their mashup with the Intel’s Mobile SDK and Amazon S3 APIs have improved their customers’ user experience.

Topics we will explore include issues around writing business quality mashups and mashup/Web 2.0 apps for mobile users. We will explore the code Elephant Drive used in their implementation and discuss the techniques and technologies available to develop more robust mashups that deliver business value.

Platform information can help developers make their mashups react to the environment their solutions are running in. Getting information about network connectivity, storage, battery life, performance characteristic can enable solutions to accomodate mobile devices, poor connectivity and adjust for device and situational limitations.

Providing the right types of APIs will make it easier to get and take advantage of platform information. We will showcase some thinking in this area, but more importantly are looking to Mashup Camp participants to help define what types of interfaces and levels of abstraction are needed. Can we identify the key interfaces to system level information and produce more robust mashups? Bring your ideas.
