At Mobile DevCon today. But oops, I forgot my webcam’s usb cable so I’m unable to post photos today.
The keynote was quite good. The Visual Studio 2005 part of the presentation went extremely well. They showed a business object being “bound” to an app–as if it were to a db table–very cool. My mind raced with examples from past projects that I’ve worked on where this would be a killer feature. These demo teasers are driving me crazy. I can’t wait for Visual Studio 2005.
Lora is here too. She’s typing her daily whatisnew post now as I type this. We’re standing here laughing that even though Scoble isn’t here, we’ve heard his name mentioned more than anyone elses. Blogging is deep into the developer roots.
The best part of the keynote? A video segment of Gates and a handful of others in a mock Office 2003-style Great Moments commercial. It was hilarious. I can’t do the commercial justice, but it starts with the group struggling to make toast and ends with Gates dancing next to a spinning slice and a Tablet PC. I hope Microsoft posts the commercial on the Internet. Forget that. I wish they’d run it on TV. It would give the Taco Bell dog a run for his money.
I can’t wait until the EU fines me because my brand has gotten too powerful. 🙂
I do note that that you didn’t post what they said. Probably cause they were swearing about me.
