When I first exited Earls Court underground station, the first thing I saw - was the Tardis. Yes, yes, the same Police Box used by The Doctor in the popular TV Show Doctor Who. Then I walked to the conference center and again, what I saw instead of a big Symbian logo - was a huge painting of a Dalek done by a 10 years old.

“This can’t be right,” I thought, “I love the show but no way I’ve mistaken a fans event with an industry one!”

I felt better when, following an army of men with suits, I reached the right hall - right next to the hall with the Doctor Who exhibition. And then I realized the events are not so different. More on that later.

Here are some photos, movies from S60 event last night.
