What to start with? How about the art! As soon as you walk in, you get handed a pamphlet with small blurbs about the various art pieces that were on display. Each display had some rolled up copies for attendees to take.
Pictures from my phone, blurbs from the pamphlet itself:
A new kind of artist.
There is a new movement in art. A creative revolution based on the idea that technology can impact pop culture in new and fascinating ways. People who shape mobile technology change culture, and in doing so, they create art.
There's no better proof of this movement than the HP webOS App Catalog. Thousands of exciting ideas are changing the way that people live, play, and work. Welcome to a new era.
Welcome to Mobile Expressionism.
Angry Birds

Developer: Rovio Mobile
Angry Birds is one of the most popular mobile game ever made. The company responsible for this feat is the independent Finnish studio Rovio mobile, who brought Angry Birds to the HP webOS platform in August 2010. It took Rovio just 48 hours to port the app to webOS. Their engaging concept, brought to life with design and style, has made this game a webOS user favorite.
