WikiMonkey arrives at Microsoft(R)
Fresh off the plane and with his first dose of jetlag, WikiMonkey accompanied John, Iain, Priscilla and myself to a Windows Mobile(R) event at Microsoft(R) earlier this week. Whilst it was an early start, he still wanted his picture taken as soon as he arrived at Microsoft UK's (http://www.microsoft.com/en/gb/default.aspx" target="_blank) headquarters at Thames Valley Park. Once inside Microsoft® he monkied-about whilst the team got the stand ready for the event and set up the demonstration devices with a range of games.

WikiMonkey explores the Windows Mobile(R) devices
WikiMonkey is always keen to explore and check out the latest devices, so he made sure to take a close look at the Windows Mobile® demonstration stand in the lobby area. As you'll see, he was particularly taken with the Orange M600! There were also three XBox360(TM) stands nearby, but we managed to keep him away from those for most of the day.

WikiMonkey manning the Astraware stand
Once the stand was set up WikiMonkey kept a close eye on Astraware's test devices - particularly the Orange SPV C600 - and helped man the booth and demonstrate games to the Microsoft staff and guests. He did seem to spend quite a bit of time sitting down on the job, but gave the excuse that his jetlag made him feel a bit dizzy! We're also pleased to say that the Windows Mobile Team used Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars (http://www.astraware.com/all/brokensword1) to demonstrate the entertainment capabilities of Windows Mobile(R) to full effect.

WikiMonkey meets Jason Langridge
We decided to send him outside for a bit of fresh air and he spotted the Windows Mobile Team's very special Mini Cooper. These cars were only created in a very limited number, and Jason Langridge, Business Mobility Manager for Microsoft(R) is one of the lucky guys who drives round in one. He's even offered to send some goodies (http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2007/02/19/windows-mobile-mini-photo-s.aspx" target="_blank) out if you spot one and take a picture. Later in the day, WikiMonkey caught up with Jason on one of his brief breaks away from the presentations to chat about their favourite Astraware games.

WikiMonkey hangs out with Expansys at the HTC(TM) stand.
Revived by a spot of fresh air WikiMonkey decided to check out the rest of the Partners at the event and spent a little time visiting with the lovely ladies on the Orange(TM) stand and hanging around with the chaps from Expansys! Both were displaying a range of Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices including some exciting new devices from HTC(TM) which are due to be released during 2007.
