Today¡¯s sessions started off with a presentation from two reps from the Zune team. They pretty much showed off what they announced last week which includes the ability to play TV shows. The coolest thing, though, was the demos of the games that are now playable on the Zune. The presenter demoed a Galaga-like game by moving the Zune pad around. It¡¯s a welcome addition to the Zune, and not counting the iPhone or the iPod Touch, the game graphics were much better than the games available on the iPods today.

Next up Creative Strategies presented the trends that they were seeing in mobile computing. This sparked quite a debate with many of the people trying to look into 2020 to see what our computing world would be like. Conversations like this are always enjoyable because the group consists of international folks that have a totally different mobile experience than people in the United States.
After that we were treated to an indoor golf competition at the hotel¡¯s indoor golf facility. If you¡¯re a golfer and have about $20k to spare, you can enjoy a similar setup in your home. It was great fun and I learned that my golf game needs some serious attention.
The final presenter of the day was Verdiem, who specializes in green technology. They offer their own software, Surveyor, for ¡°smart managing¡± your PC-based machines. It¡¯s an interesting concept and one that is definitely catching on. The most interesting thing was the discussion that occurred after, where Alex from Akihabaranews.com was mentioning how in Japan many corporations are now going without ties, which lets the company run the air conditioning about two degrees less than they used to. This is showing a tremendous savings in energy cost and it¡¯s something that¡¯s becoming more commonplace across Japan. Every little bit helps and with smart managed electronics and lighter clothes, it does seem like we can save a lot on energy bills.
We wrapped the day by having the rest of the attendees present their favorite gadgets. I presented a number of things that we¡¯ve reviewed on Geek including the Mophie juice pack, and the Kensington Mini Battery Pack for iPhone.
Once again Microsoft put on a great Mobius and gave us a nice glimpse into the world of mobile. |
