Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2007
May 6th 2007
Microsoft have a strong platform for doing mobile and embedded development. The Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2007 is a Microsoft conference targeted at developers in the mobile and embedded space. The conference takes place June 25. to 26. in Berlin, Germany. If you're thinking about going you can save €200 by making up your mind before May 18.
The keynote session will be presented by John O'Rourke, the General Manager of Product Management Windows Mobile. There will also be lots of great general sessions covering everything from .NET Compact Framework to Windows Embedded.
If you have a mobile business idea brewing you'll also get a chance to "speed date" with mobile operators and OEM decision makers.
I also assume there will be some cool information on future versions on .NET Compact Framework and off source Silverlight on mobile devices. At MIX07 Scott Holden demoed a mobile version of the Major League Baseball demo running on a prototype version of Silverlight running on a mobile phone. The demo is really cool, and I've included a YouTube video of to get your juices flowing. J2ME feels kind off sad compared to this…
If you want get a sneak preview of what the Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2007 experience is going to be like I recommend checking out the "Backstage at MED" blog which covered the American version of the conference. Embedded Guru Mike Hall also got tons of info and video content from MED US.
I really wish I a chance to attend this conference, but I doubt it'll fit in with my summer holiday plans…
