Our BestBuy mobile phones rep is not available, nor was he able to get a replacement from among his colleagues. We didn't have any other speakers with finished presentations waiting in the wings, so we're going to go with a hodge-podge.
We'll have socials brainstorming, volunteer requests, discussion of options for the PCIG website, brainstorming on hacker/Maker space, updates on Shapeways and other 3D printing, and whatever else you want as discussion topics. If we're feeling like we need a more technical topic or the other "stuff" has wrapped up quickly, we can round-robin a discussion of our favorite phone/tablet apps. Yes, there will still be treats.
Hopefully we can get the mobile phones speaker rescheduled to sometime early next year.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
