Just back from the Microsoft Mobius conference. I see that Sam has done a remarkable job in keeping the site updated! Very well done!
There's a lot to write about from the conference. I am putting together a couple of THOUGHTS that I will post in the next few days. But let me summarize the answer to what I feel the key question is, going to a Microsoft mobility conference in Europe.
Question: Is Microsoft continuing to drive innovation?
Answer: Absolutely!
More on this shortly!
I've spent a little while looking at the Fujitsu LOOX articles on the Internet. I know this is not exactly hot "news", but hey! This is PocketPCThoughts, not nescessarily PocketPCFastestNews! :-)
The specs of this new Pocket PC is impressive. First and foremost; the Intel Xscale 400 MHz processor, integrated GPRS and dual expansion slots. Hot!
Compare the phase we are in today, in the mobile device market, with the equivalent phase in the history of PCs. Moving from 206 MHz to 400 Mhz will matter a lot, given the rich experience and features we are used to and given the fact that we want even more. Wireless wide area connectivity continues to be a critical aspect of device capabilities, and packet-based communication (such as GPRS) enables all the key scenarios imaginable. The expandability of a device has always been very important. Industry standards such as CompactFlash (CF) and Secure Digital (SD) is really the foundation of a well functioning ascessories market. Pocket PCs have from the beginning set a high expandability standard, that most other platforms still struggle to match.
So, welcome Fujitsu!
