  Are the plotting capabilities comparable to that of Gnuplot/Matplotlib? Does it support exporting plots to, say, SVG or PDF? Or is it currently aimed at at interactive visualization only?

  Python is certainly a nice language, but personally I'd prefer a nice and clean, functional, F# interface. If I find some time, I got to play around a little bit to see what that could look like.

  I would like to see support for DrawingML (given that most of the plotting I do ends up in Office anyway), but I also haven't had the time to play with it yet.

  Thanks to the .NET integration you should be able to use it with F# very easily, but I am also confused at why they choose Python instead of F#.

  Pen manipulation on a display surface is OLD technology. Unless a new innovative way of handling the pen input is produced, there will be no user excitement about pen and mobile devices.

  This video was boring (not because of the people), and exciting technology is not boring. 

   

  Pen is very good for graphics and writing. Personally, I could never use a touch only device to get actual work done, only browsing (try taking notes and making sketches on a touch only device). When they mention that touch is for manipulating and pen is for input, that, I think, was the key of it.

  Finally a fine use of the XPS format. I wonder which kind of tools will be available to publishers to make the content (particularly interactive ones).

  Hi Dan,
  
  Thank you for helping out. I am using VS Express 2008. I added the SmartThread dll (v 1.0) and since I don't have (or want) an iTune library, I commented out its references. InnerTube seems to compile fine. I can launch it and it looks I can add feeds as needed, but when I click on refresh feeds the apps stops working (I get the Windows message "InnerTube has stopped working") and it exits. I could probably try debugging it, but my debugging skills are very basics.
  
  Edit: i tried debugging and the code stops on file InnerTubeService.cs at line 202:

  XmlTextReader xr = new XmlTextReader(wc.OpenRead(youTubeUrl));
  
  The debugger says:
  
  System.Net.WebException was unhandled by user code
    Message="The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."
    Source="System"
    StackTrace:

  Cool video. BTW, I downloaded InnerTube and after a little bit of tewaking I was able to compile it, but can't get it to work. Anyone succeeded?
