We will be having the next Boston/New England Windows Mobile User and Developer Groups on Wednesday, January 20th beginning at 6:30 PM at the Microsoft offices (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor) in Waltham, MA.

Among the topics discussed -

• A wrap-up of CES 2010. Lots of interesting things going on.
• Hands-on with the LG eXpo. If you haven’t seen this Windows Phone device in action, you are in for a treat!

See you all there!

I really enjoyed delivering my presentation on “Windows Mobile Widgets 101” this past Wednesday at the Boston/New England Windows Mobile User/Developer Group. The goal was to show just how simple it was to get started with widget development. With the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Toolkit now available for download, now is as good a time as ever to get ahead of the game.

I have put my presentation deck (as PDF) and samples together into a single ZIP file for download over at BostonPocketPC.com. Enjoy!

I’ve been busy the past week and a half, with a family vacation down at Walt Disney World and catch-up (both at the office and at home). In all of this, I neglected to mention that we have a contest going on over at BostonPocketPC.com. If you’re looking for a great Windows Mobile-powered phone, be sure to check it out -
