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)
Cell phones are starting to become really powerful computing devices. They are getting high res cameras, GPS's, better screens, more APIs, and even hard drives. To find out what's the latest we visited the Windows
Mobile group and found Ford Davidson (he's a product manager on the Windows Mobile team) and he gives you a tour of the team and talks about the latest in cell phones (you meet Eric Engineer and Peter Bernard).
That Samsung with a 3GB hard drive is sweet!

As soon as it turns on again, I am sure it'd be wiped. If they really wanted the data, they could remove the battery, take out the minidrive...
I'm really glad that the Project Manager is happy about the technology and such...but I think he just cheeses it up WAY too much.
1. We know the product name
2. We know it's gonna be "great"
3. Quit refering to everything as "AWESOME"
Robert,
Microsoft really needs to have some sort of RSS Aggregation!! Also giving users the flexibility of downloading podcasts without using third party apps..
..uhm.. well, that does every phone i know which has a music player...
do you know if sprint will have any WM5 smartphones? i currently have the i600 running 2003SE and it is a solid phone. when i first got it i charged it and have never rebooted it. used the extended battery to keep me going for the long trips. sprint is very slow at releasing cool phones.
Nah, it's probably just my connection. I like your videos btw. I like seeing what you guys are comming out with without reading a ton of documentation... It gives me one more reason NOT to learn Java
It's "Voodoo Chile" but i haven't recognized if it was Jimmy Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn... that simply ROCKS!
EDIT: Something suspicious is going on here - as soon as I switched from Firefox to Internet Explorer, the downloads back at 40kb/s. Hmm.
Currently mobile providers make a killing by using the excuse that the caller does not know where the recipient is residing and as a result that recipient must pay the inflated international charged rate, but with GPS this would not be the case.
Great video - lots of interesting info re mobile 5 and new devices.
Thought you may be interested in the work we are doing with local government in the uk - using a free mobile app we give to the public to report grafitti and other street incidents in a far more efficient way than through the old paper route. (www.lovelewisham.org)
That camera api in 5 is going to be a big win for us, it is a pain getting multi-device support for that currently.
Cheers

T-Mobile promised to get it onto the market this summer in germany. It leaves nothing left to wish featurewise, allthough it is kind of big .... I look at it as a subsubnotebook with highend connectivity
Wow, pretty cool to hear Peter Bernard mention smartFeed. He's pretty much on the money... smartFeed is a podcatcher for the MS Mobile platform. It's built on top of the .NET Compact Framework and it's available for free (absolutely no strings attached). Kevin and I have sunk a lot of hours into this baby and we'll continue to do so because we use it every day. smartFeed is by far the most exciting project we've got going on right now. Please check it out and let us know what you think. You can get it at http://www.smartfeed.org/download.aspx. I know this is kind of a shameless plug, but I just spent our entire marketing budget on my daily cup of coffee and now I have to take advantage of every opportunity I get =)
