Windows Phone 7: Coffee and Code
There has been much talk of Apple and Blackberry of recent, but what about Microsoft and their re-invigorated OS now known as Windows Phone 7?
Other than the odd device pop-up, the actual performance and usability have been shrouded in secrecy, with only potential launch dates being announced to the public.
If you are a die-hard Windows fan boy, have interest in getting a hands-on approach to the new Windows Phone 7 series powered devices, and live in the Toronto area, I have some good news for you.
Today, Aug 12, 2010, from 12pm - 8pm, 3 Microsoft product evangelists will be on location at Starbucks, 4 King West (corner of Yonge St and King St) with 3 devices running Windows Phone 7 series, ready to load up your application and let you test it out.
TheCellularGuru.com will be on location blogging live, moderating your questions using the twitter hash-tag #WP7CC, and finding out everything you our readers want to know about this up-coming OS.
So come by, say hi, and see what Microsoft has been cooking up!
