The idea of Media2Go is a PDA/MP3-player-style device just for A/V, e.g. a video-enabled iPod. I have mixed feelings about it. I think I'd rather watch videos on my laptop and get an audio-enabled cell phone than carry yet another device.

While I think that the prototype watches are butt ugly, I really want to write apps for my watch. With a decent metal frame and a color screen, the Smart Personal Object Technology (SPOT) watches would rock. BTW, does anyone else thing that the Win32/.NET/SPOT windowing API needs to be updated for non-rectangular displays?

From Francis Upton: The ActiveX/COM Inspector allows you to inspect and execute any ActiveX control. It works with controls and typelibs, automatically showing the documentation associated with classes and members. Quickly find out how a control behaves using event logging, a visual design surface, method execution and property inspection. Use it to help understand Automation interfaces (for example MS Office), and to help with developing Addins.

"This is the first of a series of shows we are going to do this year highlighting .NET Success Stories; companies that have implemented .NET applications successfully as either pilot projects or production projects. In this show we hear from two different companies." It's stories like this that are going to finally turn the masses away from the unmanaged world to the managed world. And they'll never, ever want to go back...
