MEDC 2005 - Ready for Liftoff!
Stop whatever you're doing and look at the nearest calendar - double quick! Yes, it's May 9. Okay, it's not exactly a public holiday, so why on earth am I getting so worked up? Today's the day when the Microsoft Mobile & Embedded Developers Conference (otherwise, favourably known as MEDC) gets underway at the world famous gamble grove, Las Vegas! As you would have found out from a post made by Jason a few days ago, our very own Peter Foot will be there to give us instant updates on what's hot and what's not. It's also his duty to ensure he eats our fair share of MEDC finger food. On a more serious note, Peter can't be in ten places at the one time, so if you've got some hot MEDC news that you think every geek on this planet should know about, please feel free to let us know by submitting that information through the Pocket PC Thoughts contact page.
News sources are hinting at the unveiling of the next version of Windows Mobile, so we may see some cool technologies on display. Maybe a few new devices? Little green aliens? Who knows? As MEDC runs from May 9 to May 12, we'll endeavour to keep you posted on all the latest news throughout the week. If you're interested, you can visit the official MEDC 2005 website here. There is also an official MEDC 2005 Podcast which you can subscribe to here.

Well, maybe not every geek needs to know this, just maybe the geeks that that use their PPC's in barcode endeavors. :mrgreen:

I'm appalled. On the front page post, the section "version of Windows Mobile, so we may" has a green highlight on "Windows Mobile" indicating some elucidating content to be accessed. The pop-up indicates "Switch to Tablet PCs, Go Mobile". Sheesh. :?

Is anyone planning on watching the Keynote speach on their PPC? If so I'd like to know how you set it up. Will WMP stream it? Does anyone know what the URL is?

Are you referring to Bill Gates' Keynote? If so, the URL won't be made available until the speech goes live, so keep your eyes on this page for more information. From there, you can select an appropriate bitrate, and it should open up in Windows Media Mobile as a live stream.

I don't recall these sorts of things being webcast live. There are archives of older speeches available at the link in the post though, and I expect this will be up at some point.

Was the CES keynote live? I don't remember actually. Maybe this MEDC one isn't either. At any rate, it should appear in that link as you said.
