BEIJING, China – May 26, 2010 – Symbio, a leading innovator of outsourced product development solutions worldwide, today announced Symbio CEO, Jacob Hsu will be speaking at the Global Mobile Internet Conference 2010 being held May 27-29, 2010 at the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel China.

Hsu will join the “Application Store & Platforms” discussion on Friday, May 28 in a highly interactive panel moderated by Gang Lu, Co-founder of OpenWeb Asia Workgroup and Founder of Mobinode.com and other industry luminaries including:

Panelists will address whether the App store model will be successful in Asia, how the market is evolving, the development of new business models and how to enhance partnerships with other players in the ecosystem. According to a May 2010 ABI Research report, last year consumers downloaded some 2.4 billion applications from app stores, and the download rate will accelerate over the next few years until in 2013. Smartphone downloads are expected to peak at just below seven billion.

“We are moving into a new world of digital convergence, with smart connected devices – but where platforms aren’t the focal point they used to be,” said Jacob Hsu, CEO of Symbio. “Because of the proliferation of platforms, what matters most is creating the best user experience and working backwards from that – and finding the right platform to deliver that experience.”

The Global Mobile Internet Conference 2010 is designed specifically for entrepreneurs, executives and influencers to understand and capitalize on the growing opportunities in mobile Internet. Around 1,000 industry leaders from Asia, Europe and North America will convene in Beijing to compare and trade best practices across borders, especially between the East and West.
