if your fingers are tired? Or what
if you're carrying a briefcase and
have only one hand free? Suddenly
it's not as easy to look up important
information.

PEN Computing
Takes A Detailed Look Into The History
Of Microsoft's Tablet PC
Flashback to 1992-1993: The pen computer
craze is at its height. GRiD, NEC,
Momenta, NCR, Compaq, Samsung, Toshiba,
IBM, Dauphin and others are all marketing
pen computers running Pen Windows.
The target is the consumer, and the
hype says that the pen will largely
replace the keyboard. Flashforward
to 2001-2002: Is it going to happen
all over again? It looks like it might.
Microsoft is in the process of defining
the Microsoft Tablet PC platform hardware
specification, along with a pen-interface
layer that will sit on top of Windows
XP Professional. The initial target
is corporate users, "knowledge
workers with a productivity focus."
Five big OEMs have signed up to build
Tablet PC products. Microsoft is starting
to crank up the hype engine, but so
far the media is resisting. |

How

To Speak During The Pocket

Equipping Law Enforcement
for the 21st Century -
A Look Into How The Los
Angeles County Sherrifs
Department is Using Pocket
PCs to Catch Bad Guys
Sgt. Larry Bryant of the
Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department "can use
his hand-held organizer
to instantly search more
than a million mug shots
by such variables as eye
color, height and even
distinctive tattoos. So
instead of driving back
to the office to pull
a file, Bryant can look
up a person's booking
profile--including color
photograph, address and
aliases--while out on
the street. The software
designed by San Diego-based
ImageWare Systems Inc.
was introduced this year
and is among the latest
technology focusing on
local law enforcement."

Sgt. Bryant will be speaking
during the upcoming Pocket

MEG

> Rob Tercek
Machines That Go Ping Founder
And CEO, Rob Tercek, To
Speak During The Debut
MEG Expo
At the very first Pocket
PC Summit during the month
of October 2001, we were
fortunate to have Rob
Tercek as a keynote speaker,
then one of the top executives
of Packet Video. Rob has
since moved on to form
Machines That Go Ping,
a strategic advisory and
operational management
group for digital content
and enabling technology
ventures. With years of
experience in the entertainment
and interactive industries,
Rob returns as a speaker
during the premiere Mobile
Entertainment & Gaming
Expo
.
Rob will be moderating
a panel entitled, Mobile
Messaging and Entertainment
- Digital Media for Mobile
Devices - Worldwide,
the fastest-growing segment
of mobile data is messaging.
Over 200 billion messages
were sent last year, and
volume continues to surge.
Messaging now exceeds
12% of revenue for most
of the GSM operators.
Premium SMS has ignited
the mobile entertainment
economy by providing a
simple billing mechanism
for two-way content. And
now, SMS is evolving into
a delivery mechanism for
rich media, including
pictures, music, animation
and even movies. We've
gathered the leading providers
of mobile entertainment
to learn their views on
messaging and the future
of interactive entertainment
on mobile devices.
Rob's keynote presentation
during the first Summit
was one of the visionary
presentations during the
conference. Rob's keynote
is now available for free
download. To download
the Rob Tercek Pocket
PC Summit keynote presentation

Go Ping website at www.mtgp.com/.

Pocket
PC Summit Exhibitor, Epiphan,
Launches CEAnywhere During
The Summit
Epiphan
joins the Pocket PC Summit
family as a Technology
Sponsor and exhibitor.
Epiphan will be providing
CEAnywhere to Summit attendees
to enhance their conference
and learning experience.
CEAnywhere provides remote
support for the mobile
workforce. In the fast
paced world of mobile
computing, Information
Technology (IT) professionals
are expected to support
an increasing number of
executives and devices.
Support personnel need
an efficient, cost effective
method to manage this
workload. The advantages
and benefits that come
from the true nature of
mobile computing are lost
when a mobile device is
out of commission on an
IT professional's desk
for service. At the same
time, the odds of a mobile
device having its own
mobile support team to
accompany it on it's travels
are slim . These devices
are an integral part of
business communication,
and any downtime means
lost productivity, and
lost dollars.
Epiphan can be found on
the Internet at www.epiphan.com.

.NET
Compact Framework >
Interview
Pocket
PC Summit Writer, Robert
Levy, Interviews Microsoft
.NET Compact Framework
Technical Evangelist,
Kent Sharkey, About The
Future Of The .NETcf Platform
In this exclusive interview,
Kent Sharkey unfolds Microsoft's
strategy for the .NET
Compact Framework, it's
purpose and functionality,
and how it connects disparate
devices and systems. We'd
like to thank Kent for
taking the time to talk
to Pocket PC Summit interviewer,
Robert Levy.
A brief excerpt of the
interview follows -
RL: In your own words,
how would you define the
goals and strategy Microsoft
is using to merge existing
(and future) mobile technology
with the larger concept
of ".NET"?
KS: Good one. If you think
of the overall goal of
.NET as helping programs
(and people) to communicate
better it becomes clearer.
Today, and in the past,
this has been fairly difficult
in the mobile space. People
needed to be mobile experts,
and used primitive tools
to craft apps for Pocket
PC or phones. Microsoft
is attempting to make
this easier for developers,
and to enable new forms
of applications by doing
this.
RL: What online resources
do you recommend for developers
interested in learning
more about the .NET Compact
Framework?KS: We're already
beginning to see a vibrant
community forming around
.NET Compact Framework.
There are discussion lists,
mailing lists and websites
appearing everywhere.
Some of the best I've
seen have been DevelopMentor's
CF list (),
the product team's own
site on GotDotNet (http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/netcf),
and of course DevBuzz
(http://www.devbuzz.com).

Deployment Of Pocket PCs
- How Sprite Ghost Turns
A Pocket PC Into A Powerful
Network Deployment Tool
The Creators
Of The Famous Desktop
Application, Ghost, Return
With The Pocket PC Version
Of the Popular Application,
Sprite Clone - Sprite
Software From Down Unda
Sean Connolly, one of
the founders of Sprite
Software, revealed how
Sprite Clone can help
enterprise IT professionals
to deploy Pocket PC devices
quickly and easily throughout
an organization. Sean's
Philadelphia Pocket PC
Summit presentation is
now available for free
download -
At present, enterprises
are considering rollouts
of Pocket PC, but there
is very little information
about what tools are available
to assist them in their
deployments, and in the
benefits of using imaging
techniques to manage device
set up and recovery. I
would like the opportunity
to explain the various
options currently available
for setting up large numbers
of devices and provide
detail of the pros and
cons of each of the available
options. I will also provide
data on the time and cost
savings over the lifetime
of a Pocket PC that can
be expected to be achieved
if imaging techniques
are used. The options
currently available are
as follows: Devices set
up by the users themselves.
– Currently prevalent,
but likely to change as
IT managers have to deal
with the fallout of user
issues. Devices set up
by IT department using
manual or semi-automatic
installation methods.
This is becoming more
widespread as Pocket PCs
increase in popularity
and use and as the IT
department becomes familiar
with the issues involved.
Devices set up by IT department
using imaging techniques.
This is likely to become
the most popular method,
in the same way that most
desktop PCs are setup
and managed by the company
IT department.
