Windows Mobile Smackdown @ Tech-Ed

  • Article

Each year at our internal technical conferences (Dangerous) Dan Arildson and myself have delivered a session called the Windows Mobile Smackdown. 

We even recorded a video through Channel 8 of our antics at last one which got published earlier this year.

The Smackdown is a session where we show cool applications and solutions for Windows Mobile.  It is all Live demos - no safety nets.

We got asked to do the same session at Tech-Ed US this year and Dan and I hit 21 of 21 demos all live - no failures!

A number of people who attended the session asked for a list of the demos we showed and they are listed below:

    Didn't make Tech-Ed this year, so unfortunately missed your session.  Any feedback on how the session went?  What solutions went over well with the crowd?
