I have been fortunate over the last 3 years to see the opportunity for creating very different solution experiences  by utilising the Windows Embedded platform;

• Windows XP Embedded : ability to deploy a desktop developed application on full X86 based hardware, with a specially customised OS based on the XP code base. Support for compact flash as media, and more.
• Windows Embedded CE: the multi CPU, real-time OS for small footprint, low power or mobile solutions.

For XP Embedded areas like Point of Sale, ATM, Digital Signage, Home Automation Transportation and more are solutions I have seen people building.

With Windows CE I have seen GPS/Navigation, in-vehicle digital video & telematics systems, and even a braille interface PDA system out of NZ!

If you work in the Embedded industry, have a software solution that could benefit from a custom platform or are interested in getting  started with Windows Embedded with some "hands-on" training, then the Embedded Developer Pre-Day is the one event this year for you. If you don’t, you may want to come along and be inspired by one of the fastest growing areas for development today.

We have Mike Hall, The Architect, Windows Embedded, delivering the keynote for the Embedded Dev Day, via Live Meeting. Delivering the hands on training will be one of the Windows Embedded CE product team, plus some local XP Embedded experts.

Check it out, for only $220, and limited to 40 places, this is likely to sell out soon.
