Windows Mobile 7: The $25 Potential Bean-Spiller We All Missed Out On
That’s right! For a measly $25 (plus the cost of a flight which I *might* have been willing to pay if I had discovered this soon enough and if entry wasn’t a members-only affair), you could have been a part of an event that took place in Canada on Thursday, January 21, 2010. The CGA Ontario (Certified General Accountants of Ontario) held a session titled, “What Hackers Know That You Don’t and Windows Mobile 7 and the Wireless Landscape in Canada.”
The speaker of the session was Mike Persechini from Motorola, but he was joined by guest speaker Anthony Bartolo from Microsoft who was noted as being the one to discuss Windows Mobile 7. See the snip-it below which I clipped from the CGA agenda:
Naturally, to what extent Windows Mobile 7 was discussed is anyone’s guess but beggars can’t be choosers and where mum is the word on behalf of Microsoft where WM7 is concerned, this little something was surely more than the nothing we’ve heard thus far. Unfortunately, the Windows Mobile 7 mention falls between two very different topics (security and the Canadian wireless landscape) which makes it all the more difficult to discern what exactly might have been discussed. Is there any chance that any of you viewing this were able to attend? If so, would you care to share what you learned?

The event organizers got the product version wrong. Anthony spoke about WM6.5 as a business solution providing customers the ability to connect directly to Exchange without middleware like Blackberry Enterprise Server. There was no presentation or discussion about Windows Mobile 7.
