Pocket PC Summit - May 28-31 - Philadelphia (http://www.pocketpcsummit.com) Headed to Philadelphia in the morning to attend the Pocket PC Summit. There are a couple of Pocket PC-specific shows now (the Summit and there was one called Pocket PC NY) - this is the second PPC Summit; the first was held October 2001 in LA. From what I heard, the PPC NY one was rather sparsely attended but the first PPC Summit was very well attended, especially when you consider what happened a month earlier. As I'm pretty well attached (not well-known, but well-attached) to the Pocket PC universe, I will see a bunch of friends there and get to attend a couple of days of conferences. I'll help out at the Microsoft booth during the trade show portion (which runs concurrently with the last two days of the conference) and cover my friend Dale Coffing (http://www.pocketpcpassion.com) while he's out doing panels and stuff like that. I believe the exhibit hall passes are free if obtained from the Summit website, so if you're in the area, hop over on Thursday or Friday to the Loews Philadelphia Hotel to see what's new! 6:40:42 PM     Trying a mail-to-weblog tool on Radio 8.0. Using hotpop.com for POP3 email since Radio deletes (!) all email from the account; wouldn't want to use my regular one! Radio uses a "secret subject" to enable posting to the account. Any email to the target account containing the secret subject is posted. With this tool, it's easy to post using SMS or mail from PDAs, as well as webmail access from public computers. 10:06:47 AM     Okay, well, here it is. What everyone else is doing; a weblog. I don't know if I really have anything interesting or different to say, but what the heck, someone might want to read it. My personal technology interests are pretty much anything small or wireless (even better if small AND wireless) and I've been very fortunate to be able to play with devices like this and write about the technology (for a private consulting firm). I hope you will find some of this information (I promise, soon to come!) useful. 9:14:34 AM
