How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
In this screencast, I introduce you to the basics of POOM.
POOM is the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket Outlook Object Model, and it's a thing of beauty. The API is clean, easy to understand, and, just to top it off, it works.
The demo shows how to pull contacts from the Pocket Outlook data store, and also how to create a new contact.
If you don't watch this screencast, then it's because you hate beautiful things.
POOM rocks.

This is a very good article and leaves few questions un-answered. This webcast shows how to create an app that works with Outlook data. A next step may be to create an application that works within Outlook. Along the lines of this webcast, I would recommend a webcast on extending the Contacts menu in Windows Mobile 5.0 by implementing IContextMenu in C#. Good job!
I was very disappointed. The API does seem to be able to change the profile of the mobile device, can read the status, but changing it?
I emailed Rory as he offered in his presentation and had no reply. I was very discouraged with the whole thing.
Regareds,
Warren
