The Market Goes Mobile “Notebook PCs, with a compound average growth rate of 15% worldwide through 2008, will outsell desktop PCs as business and consumer users upgrade or complement their desktop PCs.” Strategy Analytics 8-03

U.S. PC Unit Shipments – Total PCs Source: IDC, 2004

U.S. PC Unit Shipments – Growth Source: IDC, 2004

Growing Mobile Workforce 91.8 million to million 13 million new mobile workers in the U.S. from 2002 and 2006 Growing mobile workforce Embrace a variety of hardware, software, and services technologies Want to work more efficiently in a wide variety of locations

Home Users Are Buying More And More Mobile PCs Wireless networks are easy and affordable Moveable from room to room Couch form factor Less obtrusive then desktop Media Center PC Companion Device

Mobile PC Opportunity Faster growth than desktops Faster rate of innovation than desktops Mobile ecosystem maturing Customer demand for real-time information Wireless hotspots WWAN access Create application that meet the needs of the mobile customer

Microsoft is meeting these demands with the Mobile Product Group Creating and utilizing all of the mobile pieces of the OS for the end user and developer Mobile PC Development Center Educating developers on how to create great mobile applications on XP Even better application on Longhorn Intel is meeting these demands with their Mobilized Computing Initiative Great tools and SDK for Mobile PC Developers Microsoft and Intel

Windows Client Vision Make Windows computers more valuable to more people, more hours of the day by enabling them to use computers in new physical and social settings

Mobile PC Platform Areas More Available More Settings More Places Power Handling standby/resume Scaling functionality on DCNetwork Network Location Awareness Synchronization SynchManager Online/Offline Data Richer Output Aux displays Alternate Inputs Pen/Ink Speech Display Multi-monitor High DPI Support Collaboration Peer 2 Peer VoIP Messenger/RTC Media & Entertainment Windows Media Windows for Portable Devices (WPD)

More Available – Power Scenerio Allow the mobile user to complete the tasks with minimal interruption and awareness of battery status Features of a Power Aware Application Applications notified of power status and scale accordingly Increased battery life on portable computers = more productivity PDA-like system availability and responsiveness. Simplified power schemes – improved user experience

What can you do as a dev… Be aware of the system power status Handle power notifications properly Be aware of device power states Use CPU and other resources efficiently Scale application functionality Keep the computer awake when the CPU is idle Respond to device change events

On Now Power Management Since Windows 98 System and individual devices can hibernate and wake up very quickly Applications should be prepare by: Closing all file and device handles Saving local copies of files or working data Turn on/off polling – causes system to wake up Application should not expect user input Application should not expect user input Seamless transitions

Power API’s – Current Info Available since Windows 98 bool GetPowerStatus(SystemPowerStatus s) Query to current power status of system Current power source Battery status Charging status Percentage remaining Use this information to make smarter applications

Power API’s - Notifications Applications can respond to power change events Two methods currently available PowerChangedEvent.NET Framework WM_POWERBROADCAST Windows procedure

WM_POWERBROADCAST PBT_APMBATTERYLOW PBT_APMOEMEVENT PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND PBT_APMSUSPEND PBT_APMQUERYSUSPENDFAILED PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC PBT_APMRESUMECRITICAL PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND

Power Aware Sample

More Available – Network Scenario Overview Users work when and where they want with smart, high-performing and secure networked applications Features Application require zero-configuration for networking Users are equally as productive on and offline Connect, collaborate and share information with others easily Confidence that connection and data is secure

What can you do as a dev… Detect network changes and react transparently Handle abrupt network disconnection Test in different network environments Scale application features Handle long network delays Have the ability to be used off line Give clear feedback to users

Network API’s – Get Status Currently two methods of getting Network Information SENS API for general network information Windows Sockets 2.0 API for more details WSALookupStartup() Initialize WinSock WSALookupServiceBegin() Initiate the client query WSALookupServiceNext() Enumerate networks WSACleanup() Cleanup and Close WinSock

Network API’s – Notifications Register to receive information when network change events occur WSANSPIoctl (WSACompletion) SIO_NSP_NOTIFY_CHANGE for change notifications Call with WSACompletion structure NSP_NOTIFY_HWND to get notified via your windows procedure Requires wrapper in managed code

Network Aware Sample

More Available – Data Scenario Overview Mobile user seamlessly move from online to offline staying in sync and more productive Features Architecture that consider both local and remote data Application that handle conflict resolution with minimal user impact Equally as productive user experience in airplanes, hotels, coffeeshops and client locations

Sync Manager Allows mobile users to synchronize content with computers and devices Consistent synchronization experience for applications Common Status / Progress UI Conflict Store / Conflict UI Allows for Scheduling Time-based and Event-based Sync Manager UI framework allows for simple plug-in interface

More Settings – Pen and Ink Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Tablet PC Development Kit 1.7 Development Center Easy to add ink controls to your application Consider the Tablet PC user in your design and testing Pen Enabled Interfaces Portrait versus Landscape Left and right handiness Enable computing in more places

Tablet PC Sample

More Settings – Display Guidelines for Multiple monitors Handle an arbitrarily large coordinate space Display the window on the primary monitor Preserve the last used window settings Always check the system settings Use Screen.Workingarea.Bounds

Call To Action Keep mobility in mind when designing applications In design In development In test You understand the needs of the mobile pc user better then desktop developers Focus on perfecting the basics – these will impact your application behavior
