Hubert Burda Media is organizing Digital Lifestyle Day 06 in Munich on January 23-24. They’ve invited 200 people to ‘discuss the connected worlds, the digital consumer and Europe’s role in innovation.’

I want to discuss the need for a new approach to mobile devices. I’m not thinking phones but devices that have internet built into their DNA. With Martin Varsavsky around, I’m hoping this will trigger some fruitful discussion.

But I’m still wondering what form the talk should take. My first choice at the moment is to try to develop a set of design principles for the next generation of mobile. Suggestions, anyone?

Here’s an interview on blogging I did at Bloggforum in Stockholm with Sisuradio, the Finnish-language station of Sweden’s national radio.

Random quote: “Blogging is a medium that makes it easier to find other people. Blogging is never going to supplant face to face conversations.”

The interviewer is Niki Bergman.

UPDATE: The last panel stood apart. Loic’s moderation was on cue, Reid Hoffman dropped gems, and Yat Siu convinced that English isn’t the main language of the online conversation.

So far Les Blogs is not living up to expectations.

• People: where are the young creators?
• Talks: please, more substance, less panel blah blah.
• Food: ‘dinner’ = cocktail toothpicks?
• Ambiance: please, more Paris, less airport hotel.

Six Apart, you can do better :)
