The SXSW Interactive Mobile Companion (http://webclip2go.com/sxsw08) is a free mobile web application that lets you access everything about the conference right there on your mobile phone. You can check:

* Panel schedule by day
* Session abstracts
* Official and unofficial conference blogs and wikis
* Blogs of conference speakers (full posts w/ comments)
* SXSW parties!
* Austin local news
* Music and film listings by venue in the Austin area
* and much more …

All you need is to load the following URL in your mobile phone browser. Or, if you do not want to type the URL, simply text the word sxsw08 to phone number 41411 to get a link returned in an SMS message (the SMS works in the US only!).

The site renders differently on different devices. It has a nice “native” look-and-feel for iphone (try simulator) and Nokia NSeries devices, but works equally well on most BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm, and other smartphones. Try it on your phone and let me know your suggestions on UI improvement!

I’d love to hear your comments / suggestions on how to improve the service. Please feel free to suggest sites / blogs that we need to “mobilize” for the conference. Just email me at michael AT michaelyuan DOT com. Also, if you would rather NOT see your site on my list, please let me know too! Thanks.
