Mobile Interpretation conference at Tate Modern

From Audiotours to iPhones

Thursday 4 September, Workshop (by invitation), 10.00-18.00,  East Room Tate Modern
Friday 5 September 2008, Public Conference, 10.00-18.00,  Starr Auditorium Tate Modern

Are museums ready to play in the digital age? Rapid advances in technology are making the traditional audiotour increasingly redundant, and visitors are now offered sophisticated multimedia tours on PDAs, iPods and even mobile phones.
This symposium is for museum workers who want to know more about how the new generation of mobile devices can benefit their institutions. International museum professionals with in-depth experience in handheld program design, development and evaluation lead the day’s discussions.

US Phones in Canada

So I've done some work on figuring out what's the best way to keep in touch while I'm in Montreal. I'm attaching my research below, and feel free to add comments to this post about your own carriers.

Cell Phone Audio tour users here at MW2007

I'm presenting a paper at Texas Association of Museums next week on our museum's implementation of cell phone audio tours.

Something's shifting - audience, age and attraction, or "I'd like to try one of those phones"

The Museums and the Web papers are copy edited by the retired chair of a college English department (who also happens to be my mother). Her reaction to what she reads is always a bellweather to me, for she's pretty representative of one group of museum goers (and Web site users)
