The Wolf Bytes is proud to announce the availability of the free TechEd 2010 Scheduling and Twitter tool influenced with the Windows Phone 7 Metro design guide lines. After you download the session data, you can view the schedule and build your own custom schedule. With the twitter tool, you can view tweets for the main conference hash tag #TechEd as well as build up a favorite list of tags you wish to follow.
Windows Phone 6.5
Availability for Windows Phone 6.5 is through the Windows Phone Marketplace. The current version sends tweets via SMS, look for a update by the time TechEd starts that will allow you to send tweets directly from the application. To download and install, either search for TechEd or look under Tools and then Developer tools on your windows mobile phone in the Marketplace. Or click here to get it online.
Sidebar Gadget
You can install the scheduling and twitter tool directly to your Vista or Windows desktop. This version is presented to you in a Windows Phone 7 skin. Download the Desktop widget from here.
Android
You can download a free version of the scheduling and twitter tool to your Android V2.1 phone. Just go to the marketplace and search for TechEd.
UPDATED 6/3/2010: There seems to be a bug in android (or the way I’m using the WebView) where session data is not stored when you close the app. This is not on all devices, but if this is happening to you, please use the web URL http://eventmgr.slsys.net/android.htm and see if that helps. I’m currently researching a work around but this may not be completed by the time TechEd starts.
UPDATED 6/5/2010: Uploaded V1.3 to Android Marketplace should contain fix for losing session data when application is terminated. If this fixes it for you, let me know via @ByteMaster or Kevin@TheWolfBytes.com
iPhone
Don’t look for the iPhone/iPad application on the App store. Follow these two very easy steps.
- Open Safari and enter the address http://eventmgr.slsys.net/iPhone.htm
- Once the page is opened, click the “+” on the bottom of your screen and then click “Add to Home Screen”. This will create an icon in your home menu that will allow you to start the app.
iPad
The iPhone version will work on the the iPad, however look for a more resolution appropriate version by the time TechEd starts.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me on twitter @ByteMaster
Enjoy!

This is awesome work!
ReplyDeleteLove the app. However, it requires a re-download of schedule data on Android 2.1/Droid whenever I close app or screen turns off. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same problem on Android. Every time you load it, it re-downloads the data. This would be an awesome app if that could be fixed by the weekend!
ReplyDeleteneat! font size a little too tiny for me though on my droid
ReplyDeletewish there was a version for Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (non-touch screen devices, like Samsung BlackJack II). **sigh**
ReplyDeleteThe iPhone app hangs at downloading 2051 Track Sessions, every time. ?
ReplyDeleteNo love for BlackBerry?
ReplyDeleteI can also confirm the problem with the Android app (not saving downloaded data). This is on a HTC Desire with Android 2.1.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the back button on Android is not working as expected (it quits the app wherever you are). But this is just a minor error compared to the other issue.
ReplyDeleteiPhone locks up after downloading 2051 Track Sessions. Worthless until it gets fixed.
ReplyDeletehaving the same issue with the iPhone. 2051 and done.
ReplyDeleteTried it again and gave it some time and it worked on my iPhone. Looks like a very useful tool.
ReplyDeleteLove this! any idea when we can expect the iPad version?
ReplyDeleteAnd there is no actual download button on the windows mobile appstore page...
ReplyDeleteI've tried 10 times on the iPhone and let it sit for hours. Hanging at 2051 as I type.
