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)
The newest SmartPhones come with the .NET Compact Framework, so we wondered just how different it'd be developing applications for the SmartPhone vs. a desktop PC.
Plus Neil says you can try building apps without even buying a new cell phone, and gives some tips that you'll need to think about.
Anyone try building a SmartPhone application yet? We'd love to see yours.

Neil -- What are the web resources you mentioned in the interview? A blog for smart phones? anything else you would have a person check out to get 100% up to speed on the small devices? Thanks

Our developer site is at www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/developer/. You can get all the SDKs and emulators and whatnot from there.
You can also try the MSDN Mobility center at http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/. There are a ton of whitepapers and samples and such there.
Our team blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/
Happy developing!
Neil
