This event has now happened, but please read on to learn how to access the material online...
Easy to learn and use, while introducing new technologies to allow the development of highly differentiated embedded devices, Windows Embedded Compact 7 provides access to leading-edge UI technologies and opens the door to the latest ARM processors. Real-time functionality, enhanced connectivity to the enterprise, integrated power management and user-friendly development tools provide accelerated and predictable time-to-market.
In our one-day session, over 60 delegates heard the news from leading experts from a range of companies, including Microsoft, ARM, Direct Insight, UI Centric, Texas Instruments, Freescale and Captec, in a series of short presentations covering both technical and commercial aspects of Compact 7 including:
- how to create differentiated devices thanks to new UI
technologies such as Silverlight for Embedded
- enhanced performance with the power of the latest ARM devices
and SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing)
- increased integration - seamlessly connect to enterprise
systems, PCs, and servers
- improve time-to-market with new developer tools and improved,
supported toolchain
