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)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Bert Keely is one of the visionaries behind the Tablet PC. Over the next week or so you'll get to hear more from Bert and see his passion for the Tablet PC.
One of the more interesting things he showed us, though, is when he demonstrated the Tablet PC combined with mapping software. Watch as Bert shows you how he uses Mappoint on his Tablet PC to find restaurants near where his son is living.

The Tablet PC isn't just for people who need to stand up while they work.
However, this was not a great demo for the Tablet - what did it show us that wasn't mouseable just as easily? Sure it showed off the mapping 'ware, but this is pretty much what we expect from our mobile(cell) phones in Europe, plus more!
One Note is the killer app for tablet at the moment - perhaps we could do a session showing off One Note and collaborative session sharing whilst sitting in a cafe with a bluetooth headset to audio conf whilst sharing a One Note session? THAT is killer app stuff
however what first stopped me from getting one was performance. the first ones coming out with about 800mhz of processor speed.... that didn't cut it for me (even if this was enough for the note taking scenario).
nowadays... it's the price.
yea you could get a decent thing with 1,6GH oder 1,8GH but 3.200€ is just too much for a device (refering to m200 by toshiba, here).
these things have to get a little cheaper. i realize they're not targeted at a mass market as mediacenters are for instance, but 3.200... ...
i'm sure great demos are coming up!

Don't mean to peddle my wares in here but my product "Tablet Enhancements for Outlook" also has a very cool feature that works with MapPoint North America. It integrates MapPoints into your Contacts. Much easier to use with Tablet PC than MapPoint directly.
Do a Google search for it cause I'll feel like a spammer if I put the URL in the post.

it's a prototyping tool especially designed for use with digital ink. it helps people create interactive prototypes of their websites: placing hyperlinks and defining the general structure of the site is done using the tablet.
i like this idea very much.. but haven't seen it being used in any projects.
1.) If I were a student and recording my prof during a lecture, I'd be exspelled.
Why:
a) Believe it or not, profs do make jokes about industry partner... oh, and MSFT is a funny target. They wouldn't want this to be held against them by a less-then-bright marketing guy.
b) They sometimes do use copyrighted matirial for teaching, the way the world is, it's inevitable, shocking isn't it?
2.) Uhm I doubt any pilot would fly through the north pole ... and then WorldWind (http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind) is way cooler... Hey,if you are lucky you could even see a photo of your son there... Or BillG's home.
I actually tryed to stream a lecture once for some friends who couldn't attend ... oh, boy, did the prof get mad at me... not too mad not to accept me for my master thesis thought...
Anyway, the tablet pc already is a good tool for many tasks in a students life. Artificially coming up with new ones only looks a little helpless, at best.
Cut the advertisment please

Maybe a nifty add on would be....
To keep track of what restuarants offer
"kids eat free" offers and on what day -
just to save a buck or two??
It was mapping software running ON a tablet pc, which in reality could have been running on anything.
Great demo to show the form factor of the tablet pc but come on guys where's the ink? show stuff that makes the tablet pc shine.
Navigate with guestures, use ink to draw your routes, recognize the address by writting it anywhere on the screen, tell the tablet (via speach recognition) the address where you want to go.
"Think with ink"
I've tried MapPoint and Streets & Trips but they didn't compare to driving with iGuidance. With a UI that's usable on a tablet and clear voice directions it's finally turned the tablet into a viable navigation system.
