- CWR Mobility. Mobility is something I spend a lot of time thinking about and the Windows Mobile solution that CWR has put together is state-of-the-art when it comes to line-of-business apps on the go. What really got my attention was the inventive way they managed to embed it into the Dynamics CRM Online infrastructure. From an end-user perspective all you have to do is sign up for their service and they take care of all the hard work by reaching out across the cloud and installing and configuring the app. Nice!

TechNet Radio: Unified Communications and Windows Mobile

erickingfrog — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:26:04 GMT

Michael Murphy and Chip Vollers discuss the benefits of Unified Communications and Windows Mobile.

Communications today are increasingly complex, with a vast array of ways to communicate and an equally broad range of different devices and applications. While supposedly making our lives easier, all of these options actually make our lives more complicated. We are simply overwhelmed by the options to stay in touch with each other. This is communication chaos.

Microsoft believes the answer lies in software. Software that is people-ready, helping people to work more effectively together in real time. Unified Communications solutions provide presence awareness throughout Office System and LOB applications, enable teams to work together from distributed offices and while on the go, and reduce down time and hasten business decisions. Microsoft’s UC solutions deliver identity-based, rich presence-enabled communications on the desktop and extend those capabilities to Windows Mobile devices with Office Communicator 2007. Communicator Mobile 2007 is designed to easily work with existing Office Communications Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 deployments, minimizing cost, management, and additional infrastructure investments.

   - create a simple service with Visual Studio 2005
   - use Microsoft Visual Programming Language to create the Application

Windows Mobile 6.0 Things and Stuff

Rory — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 22:53:59 GMT

The Mobile and Embedded Devices Conference (MEDC) is taking place in Vegas next week, and I thought I'd post a little fun here to get things going.

Mel Sampat stopped by to demo some fancy-schmancy stuff in Windows Mobile 6.0. There's more going on now for both devs and users.

One of the nicer things about 6.0, at least from a dev standpoint, is that the .NET CF 2.0 and SQL Server Compact Edition 2.0 both ship in ROM, meaning you can deploy your nice little apps without having to deploy the runtime as well. That made me happy :)

In the video, you'll get to see some of what's new with Pocket Outlook, an experimental managed implementation of voice recognition APIs, and more.

It's because of stuff like that (managed voice recognition APIs?)

Revisiting WiMo - The Windows Mobile Robot

Rory — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 21:16:22 GMT

Brian Cross is, like, really smart. That's what I've decided.

He woke up one day and felt like building a robot...

...so he did.

He's come along way from his early attempts, and he now has multiple hardware platforms which all tie into a single brain. That brain is a Bluetooth-enabled Windows Mobile SmartPhone. There's also some stuff that runs on a PC which was built with some of the Robotics bits that are available with Microsoft Robotics Studio.

Brian uses the phone to direct the actions of the robots, as well as handle things like communications and image acquisition (yeah - these robots, like the various probes we've launched into space, like to send images back).

I was floored by what I saw. And, for those of you who like what you see here, Brian has posted directions on the official WiMo site which describe how to build a robot similar to the one you'll see in the video.

It's amazing what you can do with a computer, a phone, and a couple hundred bucks nowadays.

Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Windows Mobile Explained

Rory — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:45:22 GMT

There's some confusion among geeks about what the differences are between Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Windows Mobile.

In this video, I talk with Mike Hall and Derek Snyder about these differences, and what I got was a crystal clear explanation. Then Derek goes on to demo a few different Windows Mobile devices just for kicks. One of them was so cool that I actually grabbed it away from him. Yeah - it was that cool.

This is my first Channel 9 video to go up. Hope you like it :)

Windows Vista: Ready for ReadyDrive

Charles — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 18:50:37 GMT

Reading data off of mechanical hard disks is an expensive operation since it is, well, a mechanical process that involves a very large number of seeks to gather data into a useful (contiguous) form.

Here, we meet Architect Ruston Panabaker who is on a team of talented hardware-oriented folks that have built native support into Windows Vista for hybrid hard drives. Hybrid hard drive? What's that? Tune in and learn. You'll also get to see how great Windows Vista can perform on a machine with one of these new types of hard drives. Most cool.
