The Smoke meets The Sea - Mobile Monday London takes a trip down to the coast to talk about sustainability in Mobile.

Although individually handsets do not consume much power, with an estimated 6 billion in use by 2013 recharging them is set to become a serious environmental issue. Undue use of power in the handset also causes serious user frustration at short battery lifetime, so there is likely a strong consumer motivation for greener applications.

Hosted by DCKTN, at the prestigious Hotel du Vin, Brighton, MobileMonday London will be examining the question of power efficiency of mobile applications at an event in Brighton, on 18th Jan.

The event will centre around a paper by Galit Zadok and Riikka Puustinen, proposing a design methodology they call "The Green Switch". Other speakers to be confirmed will contribute thoughts on power aspects of the network, and we will feature case studies of actual power consumed on platforms like Android, Nokia and and iPhone.
