Introduction
Here's some pictures and panoramas I took at the Pocket PC Summit. I wanted to share them with readers so they could get an idea what it's like to attend the Pocket PC Summit.
Pictures - Behind the Scenes
Microsoft's demo hardware laid out before Ben Waldman's keynote
Craig Dewar getting the systems configured for Ben Waldman's Keynote
Note: That's a Compaq server they are using for the demo!
The Windows 2000 Server providing the local website, and internet access
for all the wireless users
The wiring and power for the 10/100 switch and the Symbol 802.11b wireless
access points. Yes, we ran the power for the A/Ps over the Ethernet
so we did not have to plug them in!
Panoramic Views of the Pocket PC Summit
The Garden -

Chris's Wireless Presentation
I presented the current wireless technologies available to the attendees of the Pocket PC Summit. I demonstrated the 802.11b wireless LAN in action, as well as Field Software's Print Pocket CE over Bluetooth. Unfortunately, my cell phone demo did not work! Thanks to Bob Madry for taking these pictures for me.
Steve Bush's Keynote
Steve talked to us about the community aspects of the web and where Brighthand fits into the scheme of things. Also, he covered why OEMs and other vendors should pay attention to web communities - people listen to other people.
