The news is legit

i'm joining event no 2. But the registration form is a bit weird, got 2 event, for beginner and advanced, and the form there is a checkbox. Means there should be 2 different time slot (non-clashing) for the events? Because what if someone wants to join both event 1 and 2 (newbie and advanced) ?

i join newbie programming but well i interested to go the 2nd talk also ...=[

bump for all the ppl have attend...thanks alot!!

how was it guys?? informative??

All HTC user can register ma. Got class every Sunday till Sept if not mistaken... Just look around at SIS website for more info...

anyone went ? how was it ?

Quite happening, if you were there then you can see android users are really growing.

Alot ppl with Galaxy S, Desire, Milestone.

Is it informative? For noobs yes, for lowyat forumer so so only, as alot of information we already found here.

Would like to join more launch event.

i was somehow disappointed though. it's more like for total noobs. only the late afternoon part is a bit interesting. I was expecting something like a developer track or application development showcase.

i think this training is not for advanced users or developers, and dont seem to have much info on their site it seems like what are they training on?

haha. yeah, cause LYN community is pro dyy

I felt pity for M2U. While his presenting alot ppl left their seat.

While can't blame them actually, M2U presentation was not attractive at all and a lot of statistic which I think ppl not interested in.

and what does M2U stands for? maybank2u?

the only thing i learned is that there is a mobile version of maybank2u.. haha.. kiddin.. decent event indeed.. got some freebies which was ok-ok.. looking forward for more events from HTC.. hopefully more focused

yeah, i think they need another garage for the more "pro" users and the thing that I want to see more is apps sharing kind, have lucky draws, challenges, quiz, those kind of things. but its a good start nevertheless.

aikz.. was going.. but have an accident at the last minute... (saturday morning!) really accident which involve physical....

so i cant make it...

looks like still ok ok event huh...

I attended. It was an HTC marketing event. The HTC product manager, Wayne Tang (or something) was all about Sense which of course did not connect with the non-HTC android audience. It would have been more interesting if he had shared HTC's perspective on the smartphone market, Android's emergence as a dominant player and what they would be doing to tackle the competitive challenges ahead. A little thought leadership/roadmap/direction would have been great instead of the typical product push approach.

And when the MBB rep stepped on stage, I guess everyone just kinda glazed over. Unless MBB had an M2U Android app which doubled up as a lite personal finance manager, there really was no story here worth telling. Mobile websites are so 2000.

The event filler was the emcee going around the floor asking the audience what were their favorite apps. Definitely worthwhile for people new to the platform.

They had a few competitions, the big one being a Wildfire giveaway. The rest were giving out event-branded mugs and tshirts. Not sure if they were giving out anything else.

Swag I managed to get my hands on:
1. Door gift consisted of Android Garage white tshirt, HTC mousepad, pen, Desire and Wildfire brochures and some booklet.
2. Won another tshirt by just snapping QR codes plastered around the place.

I didn't stay for the afternoon track. I believe it was more developer focused.

mind to post the pic of the shirt?

Very well organized. Kudos n thanks HTC!
