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!

Are you a gadget freak? Then you MUST watch this video! The demos of cool devices are at about 20 minutes into the video.

at 1:27..didnt you hear the music..I forgot who plays it but its awesome..

btw with remotely wiping the phone, what if someone takes out the battery? or if the battery dies?

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...

Live for nothing, or die for everything

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"

Great stuff. I'm definitely going to be an early adopter of Windows Mobile 2005. I think full-blown PDAs are in for some trouble with the way smartphones are increasing in capabilities so dramatically.

'Will it run on my 486?'
I agree.

Oh how I dream of a time when such fantastic devices are available on CDMA networks, or perhaps when GSM carriers move into the backwaters of placed like South Dakota.

Robert,

Microsoft really needs to have some sort of RSS Aggregation!! Also giving users the flexibility of downloading podcasts without using third party apps..

Surprised that the airline let him have a smartphone on while the plane was in flight.  Most attendents are not savy enough to know that you can turn off the cell phone portion of a smart phone.  I got in trouble a couple of times with mine.
