Wish you could land deals with Verizon, T-Mobile, iFund, Comcast, Sprint, Nokia, Microsoft, Motorola, and more?

Apply NOW for the chance to pitch them all together on stage at Under the Radar: Mobility

http://undertheradarblog.com/nominate_to_present.html

Under the Radar: Mobility is a one-day conference uncovering 32 vetted, test-driven startups that have launched within the year in categories such as iPhone apps, location-based services, gaming, social networking, enabling technologies, and marketing/advertising.

The iPhone isn't changing the game - it's reinventing the whole sport. While their competitors followed the rules and fumbled, Apple wrote their own playbook and proved to the world that mobile innovation isn't about waiting for the opportunity - its about creating it. It doesn't matter whether carriers and mobile giants want the change - simply put, they don't have a choice. From Verizon to Google and Nokia to Apple, every big player is competing fiercely for market dominance, spurring an emergence of startups ready to join the match and oust the reigning champs.
