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)
While we were at the Topcoder contest last month handing out Nine Guys we met Alex Kipman (he is lead program manager on MS Build). He has a cool demo of using Visual Studio to build a system for a variety of mobile devices.
Of course the demo was done in a hotel lobby of a Silicon Valley hotel. Hear the kids screaming. Heheh.
Anyway, learn how to use Visual Studio to create a system that'll call MapPoint that'll use a GPS and a variety of mobile devices.

I've noticed more tablets on this site than any other non-tablet pc site...
Do they give them free to MS engineers or something?
So where can I pickup one of those Pharoahs bluetooth gadgets?
I purchased my Pharos GPS reciever as part of buying Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005. I bought it at the Microsoft Company Store for a silly low price.
However it does not come with the bluetooth dock.
For that, I just (litterly 5 minutes ago) went to www.buy.com and ordered one for $84.26 (http://www.buy.com/retail/product_jump.asp?sku=10382058&SearchEngine=Shopper&SearchTerm=10382058&Type=PE&Category=Comp&dcaid=15889).
I'm going to have fun playing with this on my Audiovox SmartPhone and DELL Insipron 8600 notebook (which I should also get this week).
Visual Studio 2005 beta can not deployed my program on emulator.
Well... your wish is my command:

Enjoy... and don't say I didn't give you anything for the holidays!
We may actually build a solution based on some of the information on this demo, it actually covers one of our current requirements
We have about 600 technicians that can benefit from having this type information and functionlity.
by the way, thanks for the link to the background.
could you please provide us for a link for the map component used in this demo ?
Thanks
