In my LA I often see computer screens open with entrepreneurs talking about digital media. I don’t see this changing much like I don’t see you building blockbuster movies outside LA or shift the media buying center of gravity out of NY.

Not to say though that the event was only for the quirky; with just the sheer momentum the mobile market has picked up throughout 2011 (many thanks in part to the heavy artillery arm’s race that Android makers have declared on Apple), I have no doubt that Android devices are going to keep upping the ante with this ongoing horsepower war.
