Exhibitors & Sponsors
The exhibitor hall was well attended
by the usual OEM suspects as well as some interesting ISV
offerings.
Special Deals and Discounts
Conference attendees also had the opportunity
to buy a HP Jornada 568 for a 30% discount from Direct-IT
- one of HP's business partners. I managed to purchase one
on the first day with the conference apps preloaded, well
worth the money. In fact it is fast becoming my favorite
device (iPAQ beware). Also on sale were a number of accessories
including Socket WLAN and Bluetooth cards. I gave into the
temptation and that's one of the reasons my iPAQ 3875 is
living on borrowed time since with the Bluetooth card in
my HP 568 and my T39 phone - I don't have to live with the
bug of the 3875's backlight not switching on without a soft
reset. I didn't realize how much of a PITA it was until
I wasn't having to reset my Pocket PC a few times an hour.
The London Pocket PC User Group Meeting
I had the opportunity to attend the
London Pocket PC User Group Meeting on the evening before
the first official day of the conference. Beth Goza was
her usual enthuisiastic self, and MC'ed the event with aplomb.
We had a demo of the Windows powered Smartphone and as usual
there were many prizes to be won. I also met Mike Wagstaff
of PocketGamer
and Omar Saeed from JustPPC
as well quite a few DEVBUZZ readers - great event.
