Imagine this. You are in the airport waiting on a flight and you remember that you needed to make a configuration change on your IIS 7 Website. You could whip ut your laptop but that means you have to boot it up and likely pay for wireless service. But what if you could simply whip out your Windows Mobile phone and make that change. It might very well be possible. Check out this code plex project created by Sukesh Kumar of the IIS Team. He implements an ASP .Net based mobile site that utilizes Link and the IIS Admin API. What's interesting here is how this application is implemented. Rather than using the IIS 7 Remote Web Admin Service, he host's his own version inside the web app itself using a hostable webcore implemention. He explains this solution here.

Very interesting that we just made this announcement but we just announced licensing of Flash Lite for Windows Mobile. I'm not sure how this will affect Silvelight Mobile but it does show that we are responded to what the consumer wants by adding Flash.

What are you thoughts? Will Flash on Windows Mobile give more credence to other plug-ins such as Silverlight Mobile?

So I get a phone allowance every couple of years and my time has been up for a while now. However, I haven't purchased a phone because I am always waiting for the next best thing to come on the scene. I believe I finally found it. Keep in mind that I have to get a Windows Mobile Phone.
