Subject: Hot News Alert: Field report. InnMedia on location in Evanston, IL (just outside of Chicago)
Hello all,
Thought you would all enjoy knowing that I just checked into the Hilton Garden Inn here in Evanston, IL in preparation for the Digital Frontier Conference at Kellog Biz School tomorrow and lo and behold the have our InnMedia Portal up and running. I put it through its paces and it looks fantastic. Response was great and I was able to pull up finance quotes, check weather and the latest news. The TVs here are Zenith 27inch tubes and I navigated the portal with both the remote and keyboard.
Of course the MetaTV.net URL flashes up each time I change pages and provides up with very nice subliminal branding.
Continued kudos to everyone on this cool deployment, particularly the InnMedia PS team! Most of the people on the panels and attending the conference are staying at this hotel so I’ll be able to talk about it on the iTV panel tomorrow as a real live iTV app!
By the way, it’s freezing here 10F but the locals seem to be focusing on the upcoming playoff game.
That’s it, I’ll send a Capt. Midnight over the weekend if the conference is anything to write home about.
Have a great weekend everyone and once again, it’s just very very cool to check into a hotel and see our beautifully designed and MetaTV technology powered application running for all to see.
