Tech.Ed 2004 Europe coverage: Windows Mobile related Sponsors and Exhibitors and other upcoming stuff
June 22, 2004 [General] | By Edward J. R.
Why wait 2 weeks to learn what kind of interesting stuff will be shown next week in Amsterdam, if you can just click on this news item and see it today? (apart from sessions and labs for developers, there is also exhibition and press conferences of various companies)
Why visit other sites that show you this sign:
... if you can get some "news from the future" from us right now? Read on...
- Exhibition :
Sierra Wireless – Mobile Pavilion
Sierra Wireless will be announcing the availability of its Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) for the Voq Professional Phone, the pocketable Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Smartphone from Sierra Wireless. The SDK allows developers to build rich software applications for the Windows Mobile platform that leverage the phone’s unique flip-open QWERTY thumbpad and the myVoq predictive search and navigation functionality.
- Exhibition : HP
HP will be showing iPAQ Pocket PC Phone Edition powered cell phones.
- Exhibition: PowerByHand (anti-Handango ; owner of PocketGear.com and Smarpthone.net) – Mobile Pavilion
At Tech.Ed 2004 Europe PowerByHand, the premier provider of mobile content and delivery solutions will demonstrate its commitment to the European mobile marketplace through the expansion of leading online properties, including PocketGear.com and Smartphone.net, and the creation of new European distribution channels. As part of this commitment, PowerByHand has announced the addition of Tony Philipp as the senior vice president of International. With 15 years of international business experience, he will lead PowerByHand's international strategy, operations and expansion.
- Psion Teklogix (bye bye Symbian! Windows CE .NET welcome to!)
Psion Teklogix, a global provider of solutions for mobile computing and wireless data collection, recently launched the WORKABOUT PRO and the NETBOOK PRO, both Windows CE .NET based hand-held computers. The WORKABOUT PRO is the first entry-level hand-held computer to offer the breadth of customization, integration capabilities, ruggedness and low total cost of ownership in one device.
The NETBOOK PRO, a unique task-oriented mobile computing device aimed at the rapidly growing mobile CRM market, including sales force automation, field service management and field inspection/data collection. This new mobile computing device bridges the gap between the small and large form factors, such as the PDA and laptop, eliminating the difficult trade-offs that enterprises have been forced to make in the past.
- apart from above mentioned (and other) announcements coming from exhibitors, there may be something interesting during conference sessions too : a couple of sessions about future of Windows Mobile platforms will discuss "what's next, after Windows Mobile Second Edition"
- last not least: Wednesday June 30, 2004, 10:00 – 10:45 CET, a press briefing "Moving Mobility Forward - Microsoft Mobile and Embedded Devices" will take place, where Mark Spain (Director, Mobile & Embedded Devices Group) and Annemarie Duffy (Senior Marketing Manager, Mobile & Embedded Devices Group EMEA) will be talking about Windows Mobile related stuff:
This session will provide a highlight of the news around Microsoft's developer strategy for mobile and embedded devices, new customer announcements, partner and industry engagement, and an update on mobile developer tools and go-to-market programmes. This will be a great chance to gain insights into Microsoft plans for mobility moving forward and an understanding of its strategy for mobile developers.
Please note: MDC Europe 2004 is a part of Tech.ED conference this year, so from now on we will use "Tech.ED" in news titles related to this conference.
