Audio interview: Ford Davidson - Windows Mobile product manager + podcasting from MEDC 2005 coming ! April 09, 2005 [General] | By Edward J. R. Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon (MEDC) 2005 will take place May 9-12, at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Microsoft folks from Windows Mobile and Embedded division are getting ready for this conference and apparently there will be whole series of podcasts (audio recordings available through RSS feed for automatic download to your PC and synchronization with your mobile device). As a warm-up for podcasting from MEDC 2005 Mike Hall from Embedded part of the division has just published first podcast about Windows Mobile: ... interview with Ford Davidson, a Product Manager in the Windows Mobile Team, that is available here (MP3 file) and RSS to the Mike Hall's podcast is here (you can add it to your iPodder-like software for podcasting). To learn more about podcasts from the upcoming MEDC 2005 conference click here. This interview with Ford Davidson apart from mentioning some interesting new bits of information also covers such basic topics like what is Windows Mobile, is it any better than other phones, and what you can do with your Windows Mobile devices. In this interview Windows Mobile is discussed both from the point of view of end user (consumer) as well as from the point of view developer. It is pointed out that Windows Mobile is superior to other platforms among others due to superior synchronization possibilities of Windows Mobile devices both with PC (Outlook) and servers (MS Exchange) - and not only synchronization of e-mails but also calendar events and contacts. Topics related to cellular operators (carriers) are also discussed. Clearly podcasting - directly from Microsoft employees - is a new development, but it allows you to get additional information about your Windows Mobile device but also shows you potential of your device. While reading websites is interesting, listening to podcasts - audio interviews and audio storytelling - provides you with additional information not available in pure text: intonation, emotions and context.
