MEDC 2007 Call For Papers Issued!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

If you're a Mobile developer, MEDC is cool.

The fact that there is a developer conference dedicated to the community that develops for Mobile or Embedded Devices is just awesome - i've attended several times in the past, and always come away enlightened, excited and just eager to fire up VS and start plugging away (maybe it's something in the coffee? :))

Anyhow, Microsoft have just dropped me a mail to let me know that they are now accepting submissions for inclusion in MEDC 2007...

Usability...

You have lots of experiance with the current devices in market.. I would go as far to say that there are only a few people at Microsoft who have the same exposure to the wide varity of device that you do.

My thoughts exactly... your reviews on devices are great, especially the 'around the device' feature. I'm sure you'd be able to come up with a very well written paper on usability :)
