I saw a link to one before, but I can't seem to find it now. I'm interested to know what about the video is important.

I'd like to go, but I won't be around

a bit expensive, but looks nice

it seems like the article was more focused on tech events. I wonder if a tech focused event site or a general events site would be better.

upcoming was bought by yahoo in 2005. I totally agree that the sites are built for the promoters and not the users. The biggest problem I see how can this be built for the users and make money at the same time, any ideas?

Nope, but if there is an answer, it may look like the difference between expertsexchange and stackoverflow (the later is a good example of building for the users).

Other commenters raise interesting points as to why this problem is harder than others - events have so many niches, there's a new set of them for each new set of users. And unlike on stackoverflow, in a month all of that data has lost almost all of its value and you need new data.

please also add a year

what ever happened to atlas?

Atlas got tired of his job. He was replaced by a bunch of turtles.

Still in development.

I can vouch for this.

Still shooting for a summer release?

is there a pdf or portable format, I like to read my digital books when I don't have an internet connection.

i would buy it immediately if is supported chinese

I would buy immediately if it supported GSM networks (or, at least, wi-fi)

Why? The EV-DO modem is plenty fast and requires no user intervention whatsoever. WiFi in this case would simply add more user configuration with negligible benefits (you're downloading BOOKS, not YouTube videos).

And why would GSM/CDMA matter at all? It's not as if you're paying for the service...

GSM would allow it to be used in markets without EVDO, although Amazon would need to figure out some kind of roaming agreement, flatrate data pricing, etc.

I use my Kindles (K1 and DX, I've seen other people with K2...I'll probably buy one myself for completeness) here in Afghanistan, and am probably going to set up a semi-pirate 1xRTT network, as USB gets old fast. The K1 only does EVDO (for which BTS gear is expensive), but the K2/DX do 1xRTT, so you can hack firmware on some of the consumer femtocells to remove GPS checks or spoof GPS.

Amazon doesn't need to figure out any roaming deals. i have my own country-wide (and Brazil is pretty wide) data plan and adding one more device would be trivial.

As for the wi-fi, I have a big library sitting on my network and it would not fit in a Kindle.
