No Worries Ryan! Welcome Back!
RE: No Worries Ryan! Welcome Back!
How about posting some pics? I've read elsewhere that all the participants got a new Orange SPV running Microsoft's Smartphone (Stinger) OS. Would you like to share some impressions of the device? Here are some interesting links from other participanting sites and pics:

RE: No Worries Ryan! Welcome Back!
Almost everybody is carrying Nokia with another 2-3 person using the XDA. THere must be at least 15 or so Nokias.
These are the people who suppose to be 'in the knows'
LOL.
welcome back
I just thought I'd add this, since it's been on my mind. We need some new moderators in the forums. SaxonMan, Davy Fields, Kezza, and PalmGoddess are never around anymore.

Let me see if I get this straight...
If they want advertise PocketPCs on a Palm news site, why not tell them to buy some banners like everybody else?
As a reader, this reduces my opinion of your journalistic integrity. I can see that it's a path you've been skating down for quite a while, but this is really sliding over the edge.
Why should I bother reading quite-probably tainted reviews? There's plenty of other sites in the sea.
Those issues aside, I hope you enjoyed the trip, and am glad to see you back safe - The world is a little less safe for americans nowadays.
RE: Let me see if I get this straight...
The main purpose of the conference is to inform, it's not a media event and there is no commitment for anyone to report back on it.
One was I see it is that by knowing more about the competition, you can more clearly understand the market as a whole and see how the Palm OS compares with Microsoft as well as Symbian. Would you not agree that if I am going to report on how the Palm OS stacks up to the competition it's better to do so from an informed perspective?
I understand your concerns but would like to reassure you that my attendance at the event in no way affects my ability to conduct reviews or editorials on this site.

Details will help and I appreciate in advance your willingness to do so!
RE: Let me see if I get this straight...
If you think attending a conference for a week "taints" news, especially from a credible source like this site, you've got something else coming at you. Microsoft is really doing us all a favor to bring all the major sites together for this event. We, the readers, get to make better-informed decisions from better-informed editors. So really, unless PIC becomes PPCIC, you've got nothing to worry about.
Ryan, lay the info on us. I'm interested as to what went on during Mobius.

If nothing else, it helps readers to get a pulse for where MS is aiming. It's interesting to see that the focus seems to be on MS Smartphone and not the PPC. Recent rumors seem to indicate that the next version of the PPC OS will be later than expected and with fewer features than hoped for. A recent letter I got from MS inviting me to some sort of developer expo geared around VS.NET features a session on utilizing VS.NET for MS Smartphone but had nary a mention of the PPC.

Then you'd be very very wrong. Or perhaps you can tell us what happened the last time you attended one Scott?

I'm not talking about information, I'm talking about bias.
I can't imagine somebody spending that kind of money just to give you a totally unbiased view of the entire playing field - Microsoft is a company, not a charity, and I feel fairly confident saying your ticket was bought by somebody in PR, not in R&D.
Something you might find of interest:

Are you SURE you trust these people to buy you a plane ticket, wine and dine you, and then tell you the TRUTH?
Suggestion
Attending Mobius in Paris for a week is a big thing. You should've told us, at least.
