Martin told me they had some rather nifty concepts in development and asked if I’d be interested in coming down to film them. The conversation continued over a few weeks and it didn’t look like I’d manage to make it to their offices due to an international travel schedule clash. Thankfully Martin offered to step in and cover MDTV’s travel costs and thus I’m rather delighted to be able to bring you a compilation of the footage I shot of Samsung Caxixi.

Caxixi is their mobile musical instrument software, made internally by some of Samsung’s simply brilliant engineers. Caxixi is a free download for any Samsung Omnia owner who’d like to do something a little bit different with their handset. (They’ve already had tens of thousands of downloads from SamsungCaxixi.com).

The software uses the Omnia’s internal sensors to play studio-quality sounds on demand. You know what, let me stop talkingtyping and show you. Have a watch, it’s genius!

The first ever episode of Mobile Developer TV was filmed at Mobile Monday Silicon Valley held back in downtown San Francisco. This month they decided to move it to the heart of ‘the valley’. Judging by the numbers — what, 200, 300 people? — there’s a massive and growing community of people specifically interested in the medium of mobile in the area.

In this episode, I worked hard to capture a bit of the environment at the start — you’ll see the Silicon Valley mobile crowd in their natural habitat then we jump straight into interviews — first up is Regd from mobile social firm, Skout. (There’s an episode of the full interview coming shortly). Then we check in with Rhomobile who offer an open mobile framework for mobile developers (enables you to develop mobile applications using ruby and html!) and finally, we have a quick chat to Martin Tannerfors who’s heading up Developer Relations for Samsung’s Mobile Innovator program. I’m hoping to pop down and interview Martin and the Samsung team in more detail. For now, check out innovator.samsung.com for more details.
