Mobile World Congress 2016, it's a wrap! Our feedback

Mobile World Congress 2016 has been a very good edition for our team. It was the 4th participation of GoodBarber as an exhibitor, and the experience was full of intense pitches, demos, feedbacks and meetings. Over the years, we get to see more and more friendly faces in the crowd and some of them have now become customers. It's always a good experience to meet with them in person. Having a chat with our customers is the most rewarding feeling and their feedback is valuable to keep on pushing ourselves to enhance GoodBarber.  Mobile World Congress was also the perfect occasion to make contacts with other people in our industry and exchange ideas. This year, we organized a MeetUp to get together with our resellers, journalists, bloggers and anyone curious to have a chat in a more relaxed atmosphere about our product. We shared our big highlights for 2015 and gave a preview of what's in the pipe for 2016. It was amazing to discover the powerful use that some of the attendees are making of our product. It was very inspiring. Sure MWC can be tiring at times, we probably drank too many cups of coffee for our own good, saw very little of Beautiful Barcelona, but, at the end of the day, we got the most energy from the people we met along the way!

Back from an amazing week @ MWC14

As you know, last week, we attended the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona. Each year, the Mobile World Congress is the moment for us to showcase GoodBarber's new features. In 2013, we established a new standard in mobile app design by providing the most comprehensive set of designing option ever seen in an app builder. This year, we had the pleasure to demonstrate how to deliver an ultimate user experience using the last improvements of GoodBarber.

MWC - Focus on Ad Networks

I spent much of my time during the MWC to discuss with Ad Networks, with the intention to improve GoodBarber's ads features.   My feeling is that most of these services are meta Ad Networks. They work with many Ad Servers and through their algorithms, they take care to provide maximum gain to their customers.   I can quote Smaato , InMobi , Adfonic and the very friendly people of Ad4Screen as services that have caught my attention.   Our Holy Grail is the generic implementation of an Ad Server in GoodBarber, this trend is perfect for us :-) Implementing the SDK of one of the services mentioned above allows GoodBarber to be compliant with all the ad servers managed by this service.   I also discovered AirPush , a mobile Ad Network focused only on Android which has the ability to send ads by Push. I found it quite original.   A word for a service that deserves a mention: going around these Ad Networks, I stumbled upon Crittercism , a bug tracker that really attracted me. We will soon use this tool, allowing us to stay aware of the stability of our applications and constantly improve their quality :-)

Few steps in the Hall 3 of Mobile World Congress

Early in the morning, it was time for me to go to hang around in the Hall 3, a hall in which manufacturers like Samsung, LG or Nokia have great presence. You may also find mobile actors like IBM, or T-mobile, or others that you won't necessary think about, like Ford. The first one when you go down to that hall is Samsung, you really can't miss it, it's a really huge booth ! To deal with the desappointment generated by the non-official release of the Galaxy S4 (and yes it was really disappointing for us), Samsung puts a strong focus on their new tablet :  the Galaxy Note 8.0, presented at the MWC. The other highlight by Samsung was the Samsung Home Sync, a box that allows to share content between all Samsung devices authorized in the area.  Not so much devices news, this year is the year of Cloud ! It is the master key !

Photo safari in the MWC '13 jungle

Today I left the GoodBarber booth to visit others halls of the MWC. It's so large... Just spent 2 hours to visit 1 and a half hall ! What did I see? Mobile phones (of course), tablets, TVs, presentations, docking stations, beautiful hostesses, things I don't care, and many other things... Oh... I also finally saw a 3D printer in the Nokia booth used to make phone covers. Great. At the end I took a look at the Sony booth. It was my favorite one (I always had a soft spot for this brand...). Stop speaking. Let's show the photos.

Mobile World Congress, Day 2

Very busy day 2 at Mobile World Congress. Day 2 and day 3 are said to be the most intense of the event ... and, well, this is true. We met a lot of people today : VCs, potential partners, complementary services and of course, leads :) Not so much time to give you a feedback of what's hot in MWC2013, but we'll try tomorrow.

Mobile World Congress, Day 1

Here we are, the Mobile World Congress began this morning. We met a lot of interesting people today! The team who took the boat yesterday evening from Ajaccio arrived in the late afternoon due to difficult weather conditions. But everyone is here now, and really excited! Tomorrow, we'll take a little more time to make an entire tour of the event, and prepare more focused blog posts. We'll focus on monetization, as we met a lot of ad networks at MWC, and on new devices. We'll try to take some more general pictures of the entire event. To follow us out of this blog, you can find us on Flickr , on Instagram (@goodbarber ), on Twitter (@goodbarber ) and on our Facebook  page :)  See you tomorrow !

We are in Barcelona!

Here we are! At last, we managed to get to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress! Not an easy task, due to the bad weather :/ For this trip, we splitted our team in two. Jerome and I took the plane this morning from Ajaccio by Lyon. Sebastien, Laurent, Jim & Mathieu took the boat this evenning to Marseille, and will drive tomorrow morning to BCN. There was snow this morning in Ajaccio, Corsica, and we were not sure that the plane could take off. The flight has been delayed more than two hours, but eventually everything went fine. We took our connecting flight in Lyon, and, we got to BCN :) This year, the event sounds awesone, and the new venue, Fira Gran Via, is far bigger than Fira Montjuic where it took place last years. The GoodBarber booth is awesome too! Enjoy some pictures :) If you are heading to MWC this year, come to say hello in Hall 5, French Pavillon, Booth 5I100/55.

Several members of the team will be there : Jérôme , Dominique , Sébastien , Laurent , Jim and Mathieu ! Come to say hi if you are nearby. You can meet us Hall 5, Stand 5I100/55

MWC 2012 – Day Three, Focus On Devices

As promised, this morning I spent some time touring the booths in search of innovations. I also had the opportunity to play with the new devices and test the quality of the products. Note: it’s impossible to test all the devices at the show, so I made a selection. The vast majority of phones and tablets presented at the Mobile World Congress are Android devices. As usual with this system, there are high and low quality devices.

MWC 2012 – Day Two, Focus On Monetization

On the second day at MWC I had a little more time to converse with some exhibitors. It’s not possible to meet them all, or to describe them all (the exhibition catalog is 300 pages long!), so my visits were focused on application monetization services. I briefly describe three of the most interesting below.

MWC 2012 – Day One, First Impressions

If we were car manufacturers or a car dealership, our annual event would be the auto show. But at GoodBarber, we make mobile apps, and the big annual event happens in Barcelona. Barcelona is the Mobile World Capital (until 2017), so it's the city that hosts the annual Mobile World Congress, a huge event for mobile professionals. When we take a look, nearly all sectors are represented: from the antenna manufacturer or foundries, from the application developer, to the operators or device manufacturers.
