CIPD Annual Conference 2008 - an overview

HR technology GEEKs at the CIPD annual conference 2008

To support our capture of the data of this event we will be using an array of technology including:

My trusty JVC mininote - this small laptop has provided me with mobile computing for over 4 years.

As a more simple and immediate tool my Orange M700 has proven to be a valuable contributor - able to take a photo, add text and publish directly to a blog - BUT with a small screen based screen I would not want to use it for too long...

This is a digitizing tablet - great for meetings, captures text and images that can be uploaded to PC to use later. this will be useful for session where there is a lot of information being shared that will be more suited to paper based capture.

New technology on order that I hope to be using.....

The Pocket surfer is a browser only connected palm-held with 'always on' connectivity, and a 'real web' experience.

This device should provide most of the functions of the JVC and the M700, but without camera connectivity. But its great size and keyboard will mean faster response times - provided by Training Journal

And lastly a potential replacement for my JVC - the new OneT+ from Elonex

Delivery has been promised before the new school term... but I'm not holding my breath. While this will connect to Wifi networks, I am not convinced that is unique operating system will work with a mobile dongle - so this will be interesting.

Note to self... bring charging leads... battery chargers and a BIG case to carry it all in....
