February 15th is App Night

I've not posted here in quite a while. The group is still meeting monthly, as we have since May of 2000. We've moved back to the Panera at Briar Creek, due to the excessive noise at Carolina Ale House. We still have about half-a-dozen folks each month. About half are iPhone/iPod Touch users. The rest are equally divided between Palm and Blackberry models.

I'm seeing much more interest in people wanting to get together to share apps. This is the way it usually happens: I am talking with a friend or two, and one of us mentions a new app they like. Another one then chimes in that they have one, and soon, other folks have joined the conversation, and everyone is on the app store, downloading a new treat. I've seen it happen over and over.

So, I'm wondering if we should all rally together and have an App Night. Since all smartphones are now app phones, the floor is open to all platforms. We'll be meeting this coming Monday (15 February 2010) at the regular place (Panera Briar Creek) and time (7 PM), and will just all share different favorite apps. Don't think your favorite isn't cool enough - everyone will have one that someone else will think lame, so don't worry about it. If it's useful or fun for you, we need to see it!

See you there!
