Participants are exposed to an unparalleled and inspiring combination of software, devices, support, and networking opportunities tailored to fit their individual preferences. Attend Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2006 and get the latest on building and bringing to market the next wave of devices, applications, content, and services for the Windows Mobile® and Windows Embedded platforms."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060204-MEDC2006.gif" /><br /><br />MEDC 2006 is being held from May 8 to May 11 at <a href="http://www.medc2006.com/hotel-travel.aspx">The Venetian</a> in Las Vegas (lovely hotel, for those of you who haven't been before).
