Glances at Microsoft Innovation Day ~ |:: I am is I am::

It has been a week since i went to the Microsoft Innovation Day , yet I haven't update bout it. The innovation day are more on explaining how the Microsoft is doing for their Window Phone 7 (WP7) product together with the cloud system, Window Azure. They wanted to be successful as iPhone and also Android in mobile field.

Early in the morning, we were briefing about Microsoft's mission in Malaysia regarding WP7, continued to introduction on WP7, and take a break for about 15min. In session on WP7 , many developer feel insecure to develop application for WP7 because support for the developer in Malaysia is not available yet.They can't register themselves to the developer website that will enable them to access for market, unlocking devices for developer and etc. This is also happen to android developer in Malaysia as our application cannot be sold in Malaysia due to lack of support in Malaysia. Although android developer can register themselves in android market, sold the app in the market and get money, but the user android in Malaysia can only see free apps only. The paid apps cannot be seen as it is not allow yet in Malaysia. Therefore, i'm not really keen on developing apps Malaysia.

Then we were continue with introduction of WP7 programming, how to use Window Azure together with WP7 apps, introduction to Microsoft XNA for gamer developer and lastly wrap up for the event. I forgot to mentioned that LG and HTC were coming to the event during lunch hour to sell WP7 devices with promo prices. I guess they are selling less rm200-rm300 from the market price. If they give 50% discount, most probably i will buy to. Just kidding only. Hehe.

Overall event is quite good but programming using window Azure is the most boring to the death part and it was done in afternoon session while we are full with food. Sleeping time for us. Goodies from Microsoft is so boring and i get a tool in form of animal figure.to massage my neck. Other than that, we get nothing. Microsoft should be creative because if they give some cool stuff as goodies, the audience will happy to come again. Compared to HTC and Sony Ericsson, their goodies is sooo nice. Believe me, i wanted to go for HTC and Sony Ericsson event if I've that opportunity.

Well, pictures are up.
