After registering I attended the now legendary Jim Wilson Pre Con. Jim’s knowledge on the mobility subject is excellent and that coupled with his presentation style helps to pass a whole day without actually noticing the time! That coupled with some nuggets that I'll share with you at somepoint...If I haven’t already passed his ...

Well, not one to be out done by the other Conchango Las Vegas attendees... I thought I'd let you know how what to expect when you make it... (If you haven't left for Vegas already, "man you is late!") Las Vegas is a MASSIVE city of contrasts... I love some things, I hate some things. On that, that's all ...

I've been playing around with this for a while now and I'm very happy that these guys have gone to RC1 already... Good work...  SMS Toolkit SDK

Last June The Moth talked about a project to port the .net Compact Framework for Symbian devices... Well the other day it was released... I've been looking at it and I'm pleased with it so far... I'll see if I can get some screen shots of our KPI Dashboard running using it...

It shows the commitment to the product (like we needed to see that with VS2k5)... It's also good as they tend to bundle other little things in it ...

4 years ago to the day Leigh Geary, a man with a mission, to make sure EVERY ONE GETS A Smartphone... Good lad I like your aggenda :) Well done to him for sticking to it. I mean this guy holds down a job, a hot wife and planned a wedding all whilst giveing us info on the latest Windows Mobile stuff... O and his need for BEER ;) GOOD WORK ...

Today I found out that if you include a shortcut in your Smart Device CAB Project to go into the Start Menu it will NOT replace any of the ...

Add the Notification control onto your main form   then using this ...
