First, I want to thank Luca Passani for speaking at RoNewMedia. We at StarTech are members of the WURFL community for several years and we appreciate Luca’s efforts in managing this vibrant community.

What is StarTech? It’s the first .ro company that took mobile web seriously. That is.. the web for mobile phones. [Slide 2].

And this includes them all: starting from smartphones, pdas, iphones, androids, to older nokias, motorolas and so on. Even phones that are not “compatible” with Vodafone Live or Orange World.

So our challenge can be expressed like: your site on any mobile.

Let me start with a note to self (or lame excuse.. if you want):

“Do not ever again have pork canned in lard, fried and served with polenta and pickled cabbage the night before you have to give a speech. It just makes you dumber and continuously thirsty. Drinking several liters of water won’t help. And even if you manage to pay a visit to the restroom just before your speech should start, you will still lose focus.”

Nevermind. Here’s the story, the way I should have told it on the stage.
