MEDC 2007 is just around the corner, and I can't think of a better place to debut WiMonet, the newest addition to the WiMo family. A white board is his canvas and a dry-erase pen is his paintbrush. WiMonet I can't believe it's already been a year since

WiMo (The Windows Mobile Robot) has a couple of cousins! Some students and faculty over at the Auto ID lab at MIT have built a few WiMos to experiment in their RFID research. For more information on their project, you can check out their project web page

As you can tell from a previous post, we are planning for MEDC (The Mobile and Embedded Developer Conference, which is only a short 5 or so months away!). I'd like to know what topics you'd like to see covered? Have you ever attended MEDC (or even a similar

Last week I posted an application called The Mobile Secretary . A little application that auto-responds to missed calls as well as a few other options. Thank you for all of the feedback! I'll be looking to add some of the requested features in the next

By now, I have started to develop a small army (well, 3 so far) of these little WiMo robots. I just got done building the 3rd one last night. In building the 3rd WiMo, I took notes and many photos of the process that are now posted up on www.wimobot.com

I have created a website ( www.wimobot.com ) that can be used as a reference for information about WiMo. I'll be posting hardware plans and source code there along with any other information about WiMo (like my next version of WiMo). As I add new information

I'd like to introduce everyone to WiMo. WiMo, this is everyone... Everyone, this is WiMo. What exactly is WiMo? and why did I build him? Both are great questions. WiMo is the the Windows Mobile Robot. The name comes from the "Wi" from "Windows" and "Mo"

We have .Net versions of APIs and we have native (C/C++) versions of APIs. There are cases where we have a native version, but we don't have a .Net counterpart. There aren't any real cases where we have a .Net API, and no native counterpart. What if there

VS 2005 allows you to create your own custom device cab files. It does many of the basic things that you would want in a cab: Add files, set registry values, create shortcuts. For many people this is all they really need in order to get an application

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Brian Cross, and I’m a member of the Windows Mobile Developer Experience team. "Hello!" Now, about that Smartphone commercial. As far as I know, there weren’t any hidden cameras in my car, but it sure felt
