Übermind Shares at Pacific Crest Conference

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Though we tend to be fairly inclusive here at Übermind, every now and then a little exclusivity can be a good thing–secret projects, new technologies, and the such. Last week, a few Übies were summond to present at the Pacific Crest Conference in San Francisco. The discussion centered around the future of paid apps and whether all mobile apps will ultimately be free.

The audience was mostly comprised of investors, hedge fund managers, venture capitalists and analysts [yawn], but we suppose we need those business-minded types to keep the lights on and the latte coming for us bloggers. It seems like the business guys had fun though; take a look at the picture below and you see Über Biz Dev VP Donald Brady on a panel with some other business folk you may recognize:

More Covers: Newsweek

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Here is another quick “Rick Steves” sighting on the back of the recent issue of Newsweek! At the risk of sounding too much like the overly proud parent that no one likes – our Rick Steves travel apps have received a lot of love, and rightfully so.

In a time when poorly made “crap-apps” have taken over the App Store, we are pleased to see our apps being highlighted by those who know best, such as Apple. We painstakingly develop each app with best-of-breed architecture that is derived from more than 10 years of complex backend system development and integration.

A lot of people out there are building mobile applications just as there are many people out there with professional-grade cameras, however, in the same way that having a digital SLR does not make someone a professional photographer, having developed a mobile application does not make someone a credible, professional developer.

This one is for our development and design teams – well done!
