The PowerBuilder Developer’s Guide to TechWave

I must say, I'm impressed by the amount of information that is coming out about TechWave before the event this year. One item in particular, the PowerBuilder Developer's Guide to TechWave. In prior years, it seems that the conference de-emphasized product specific programming. Not this year. The guide is excellent for those of us who have a single track mind when attending TechWave.

And the special event is…..

Thankfully, not the House of Blues. According to the "A to Z of TechWave 2008" document, we're going over to the Wynn for a performance of Le Reve. Cool, although I personally would have preferred Spamalot.

HTC loaner program is back!

At least according to the "A to Z of TechWave 2008" document. Last year they were loaning out SmartPhones and a PDA phone. Since I already had a Cingular 8525, which is a branded version of the HTC PDA phone, I wan't personally involved in the loaner program. They were demoing the HTC Touch in their booth in the exhibit hall, but not loaning it out.

All I can say is that if the loaner program this year includes the HTC Touch Diamond, don't stand between me and the sign up booth!
