Being actually able to use iDevice is absolutely wonderful.  Especially for an 
application that doesn't require an extra cost.

Yes, it WAS. Sat in the front row... With a box lunch... Just behind the 
audience mic, and I didn't want to munch my salad for all of you to hear. :-)

Not sure how much of the pageantry in the room was sent live to the net, but I 
can vouch that the demos on the iPad were indeed on the iPad on stage, and 
another person typed the responses live. The idea of being able to do the bar 
code read from your iPad (finally! Someone has done this!) ranks high in my 
list. After the demos there was a panel taking live questions from the 
audience, they're out in the hallway still talking to some.

I got a chance to be a beta tester for future versions of SmartIT (one of the 
session rooms is a testing lab). Sorry, no details to post. But it was a very 
cool experience to have some input into the design process.

The more I see of SmartIT, the more I am convinced that this is the logical 
next phase of the client, with the potential to make the current web clients go 
away. The framework is flexible, adaptable, taking advantage of the devices we 
all carry around anyway, using their built in capabilities (maps for example) 
as one would naturally expect. As of today there are three different "personas" 
for which the SmartIT client has been designed, but there are more on the way. 
An iPhone/Android phone app is also in the pipeline. Very excited about this....

Back to more sessions now....

Doug
