I don’t know a great deal about Yoga, but suspect the position in which I’m writing this post on board the BA207 to Miami would be called “praying mantis”.

After a few days of remote working beside a pool (why not?), and Sunday hanging out at BarCamp Miami, my final destination will be Future of Web Apps (FOWA Miami). My mission is to spread the word, gain and share knowledge, and of course seek out serious partnership opportunities over cocktails with silly names on South Beach.

As discussed in a recent post, a partnership between Rummble and Total Hotspots began at FOWA London 08 and lead to the recent launch of an essential iPhone app – just one example of the benefits to be gained from getting out and networking at quality events. Andrew Scott and some of the Rummble team are currently making waves in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress, where they hit the ground running by picking up the TeleAtlas innovation award on the first day!

Wi-Fi is huge in America, and Total Hotspots for iPhone has Miami covered – including some of the best free locations. I’m sure it will come in useful for people attending FOWA and BarCamp Miami.

Unfortunately Wi-Fi is still non-existent on transatlantic flights. Gogo launched Wi-Fi services on some busy domestic US routes late in 2008, having received over $265 million in financing. Their aim is to make inflight Wi-Fi a reality with a roll out across over 2,000 commercial aircraft by the end of 2009.

However, at this time, the lack of connectivity isn’t necessarily a bad thing for me. Eight hours is an unusually long time to sit with a notebook (analogue) crammed with new ideas and a to-do list (digital) in need of pruning; all without the distractions of email, Twitter or real work. My appreciation for the RTM iPhone app has reached new heights (no pun intended)!
