    I'd love to. Don't suppose anyone wants to sponsor some flights from Australia?

    Will code for food.

    Can't sponsor your flights, but I will promise to enjoy a glass of red for you if that's any help?

    I am scheduled to go as well. Maybe we could setup a time to swarm the AMX booth or something? :)

    Anyone have any interest in meeting to discuss programming techniques, trends or client requests? Maybe we could share some of the requests we hear and see if anyone else is hearing the same things. We could also share solutions to the requests if we have them :) It might be a little easier to discuss slightly more sensitive business practices when talking with only a select few dealers and not having things saved forever on the internet and open to everyone :)

    I'm up for it. Always nice to see the faces behind the avatars.

    I would love to go and meet some of my heroes - Anyone gonna wear a cape? J/K. Unfortunately that's right in the middle of our scheduled vacation. Yeah, I know, poor me. ;)

    I've never been to Infocomm. In the past I was always way too busy, but sadly that's not the case this year. Is it worth going to (besides getting to meet up with some great forum friends)?

    I might be able to help you with half a paddle. All you'll need is a boat and the other half of the paddle. :)

    Infocomm is the big show for pro A/V. If you're not a good time manager and/or you have ADD, your head might explode.

    We would like to see you there

    Anyone from the Midwest, look me up. I would be happy to say hi. For the ACE Experts attending InfoComm, you should have received an invitation for a pre-show special event on Tuesday evening. :)
  • Spire_JeffSpire_Jeff Posts: 1,917
    I got the notice about the pre-show party, unfortunately I already booked the trip and I won't be flying out until Wednesday morning :( I am staying a little longer tho for a day of vacation :)

    I will try to stop by the demo center tho.

    I'll be there Tues. thru Fri.

    Would love to get an AMX programmers' meetup together outside of the AMX sponsored events. How does Thursday afternoon (toward the end of show close) sound? We can meet up at the Convention Center and figure out the details from there.
  • TurnipTruckTurnipTruck Posts: 1,485
    We will be there Tues-Fri. Meeting toward the close of the exhibition one day sounds good. Maybe we could compile mobile email addresses to keep in touch as the show begins.

    Feel free to add me to phone/email list.

    Ironically, a good place to meet up is usually at the CAIP UI Booth. It's typically in middle of a main lobby floor and is an easy landmark to find.
  • TurnipTruckTurnipTruck Posts: 1,485
    If anyone is going to the show and wants to meet up, send me your mobile email address. I will put a group email together.
  • truetrue Posts: 307
    I very highly doubt I will be attending, but I live in Vegas, so if a meetup time and place is finalized, I can meet up with the group.

    I of course will not be going unless someone wants to take over my job for a few day. Six years in the industry, and not one trade show yet. Maybe I'm just working for the wrong people - LOL! (J/K)

    Anyone have any "speculations" as to what will be announced?

    Bring it with you, we'll team up on it while you're there :).

    @True, I thought you were in San Diego?

    News

    Anyone there care to elaborate as to what's going on? No press releases as of yet, so I'm dying to hear something!
  • CT-DallasCT-Dallas Posts: 157
    Press Releases are out: http://amx.com/newsroom/virtualpresskit.asp

    Has anyone seen a picture of the MVP-9000i and/or know when it will be available? I can’t find any information about it other than the press release.

    Hmmm, MVP 9000i. A big brother for the 5200i's and in the same style and appearance. Of course a matte finish has been requested since the release of the 5200's but it's still a vast improvement over the 8400's in appearance. The price is the same as the 8400 so not much improvement on that front. Nothing else of interest released from my point of view.

    It's already on the product page of the AMX site.
  • Joe HebertJoe Hebert Posts: 2,159
    Oops. What are they doing putting it right in front of my nose?
  • Joe HebertJoe Hebert Posts: 2,159
    The new gestures and page transitions on the MVP-9000i look pretty cool. Has anyone tried it at the show?
  • truetrue Posts: 307
    Re John, no, I haven't ever lived in San Diego.

    Re 9000i, highly unimpressive. Capacitive nav alone kills it for me, not to mention AMX still (likely) violates the GPL with its release and a mediocre, low res display panel used. Bah.
  • jjamesjjames Posts: 2,908
    Can't please everyone.

    The display the 9000 sports is 24-bit, which is a plus.
  • TurnipTruckTurnipTruck Posts: 1,485
    I am checking it out as we speak. Will check back in later.

    Very true. (pun partially intended.)

    And I would call this impressive if this was 2001. It's 2010.

    On another note, isn't there supposed to be a meet-up of some sort?
