Ok, I’m at MIX and the swag is in. No, the “you get a Windows Phone 7 Series” are NOT true – yet. There were a lot of rumors, so let’s dispel those now:
- NO Windows Phone 7 Series
- NO Free Zune Windows Phone 7 Series Development Kit
- NO Windows Phone 7 Series SDK (yet!)
- NO advanced electronic hardware has been handed out yet whatsoever
Even the #mix10 conference folks tweeted to dispel the rumors. Apparently it got pretty out of hand 🙂
But there has been some pretty cool swag so far (images are below):
- Cool name badges with Windows logo + zipper
- Awesome “Love the Web Together” T-Shirt
- Pencils galore (umm, ok)
- Magic 8 Ball (typical MS conference fare)
- Microsoft Translator Leeds timer
- “Field Notes” notebook – pretty cool since it says “The Brutality of MIX Online”
- MIX 10 playing cards and water bottle

Clockwise from left: There are pencils in that tube! Magic 8 Ball, Field Notes, HP Pen (no e-Ink), and MIX 10 Playing Cards.

The timer + clock.
Ooh! A water bottle! It says Windows Phone, though, so that’s cool 🙂 No, the laptop was NOT handed out.
More coming after the keynote… will try to live blog, but pffbt…
