On 18th + 19th october 2008, I had the pleasure to spent some time with Mesut and Senol Güngör - the founders of Prime Time GmbH, an innovative Media Center System Builder located in Liesthal, Switzerland.
Liesthal is almost 350km away from Frankfurt am Main (Germany), very close the the swiss state border. Lucky me passed the state border after exactly 3 hours (note: we have highways without speed limits – 200km/h no problem).
Once arrived in Liesthal, I met Mesut and Senol - with whom I talked about Windows Media Center in general and the experience Prime Time made so far on the market. They showed me a few of their upcomming devices and immediately we started to talk about Windows Media Center not only as platform that is extendable using custom hardware, but also extending it using third party applications like TV Toolbox or even applications developed by Prime Time – they have some cool ideas.
However, it was great to meet and share experiences with Prime Time, they passed in some interesting feedback. I heard about things that an avarage developer would not take note of when developing Windows Media Center applications – simply because the avarage developer doesn’t build and sell Media Center systems. I hope I can introduce some of the feedback into my projects soon.
