The totally marvellous Bruce Lawson is giving a conference session at The Big M entitled: "Breaking out of the 'Walled Garden': HTML5 and open technology for mobile development". Hear him speak - book now >>>

Bruce answered our 5 questions a little bit like this:

1. What is your day job?

I evangelise Open Standards for Opera

2. What do you do outside of work, in your 10% time, or when your boss isn't looking?

 Outside work I do kickboxing, play guitar and read poetry, now writing an HTML5 book isn't consuming all my time.

3. How is the world of mobile going to change in 2011 and beyond?

The Open Web Stack will become more powerful, so the need for walled garden Apps will diminish. I will be remember which pocket my phone is in, and learn to answer a call before the caller has rung off.

4. What are you passionate about?

My family; The Open Web;  proper beer; proper music; modernist poetry and Elizabethan drama.

5. What's your desert island phone: iPhone, Android or other - and why?

Android all the way. (If I'm spending hundreds of pounds on some hardware, I want to install whatever I like on it. Even Adobe Flash or (gasp) things that can access porn). Running Opera Mini for speed, and Opera Mobile for features.
