If you’re a lucky owner of a new Pocket PC device with a VGA display prepare to be stunned just like I was when I fired up for the first time the VGA version of EcPc on my Loox 720 because I’ve uploaded to FirstLoox.org a public beta!
This is my homage to the community grown around one of the best VGA devices around, but obviously this beta version is intended to be tested on any other VGA device on the market. It’s a beta and that means it contains some limitations and possibly still some bugs, so please read this post in the forum for the details and provide any feedback you can so that I can complete and release the final version as soon as possible. As I wrote, I also would need some help to complete the Dutch translation, which is now at 70%.
If you’re not such a lucky VGA Pocket PC user you can take a look at some nice screenshots in the updates page, read about the new cool features such as the background skin and wait for the QVGA version, which will be released together with the VGA one.
On 21st of April I attended the Wireless Forum Spring event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Milan, one whole day of conference sessions about wireless mobile technologies. There were up to nine different sections in order to cover almost the whole spectrum of the subject matter, from the Machine2Machine Forum to the Mobile Force Forum, from the Forum about RFID to the one about VoIP, the most crowded one, from the WLAN Business Forum to the Wired World Forum. I choose to follow most of the Mobile Force Forum and I think I did a good choice since I found most of the contributions by some brilliant speaker very interesting for my future software projects.
Here you can find a brief article about the Wireless Forum Spring I wrote for the local daily newspaper La Provincia.
Now that the beta is out for some public testing I’ll take a few minutes rest before getting back at the code to fix that damn routine!
