Four experts on Windows Embedded, Compact Framework, and ASP.NET are challenged with building a fully functioning kiosk that can be accessed from a Bluetooth phone application to search for products available in the mall and then use the phone to take a picture of the product and send it to the users MSN Spaces site."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050520-CodeRoom.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />If you listened to any of Mike Hall's podcasts from MEDC 2005, then I'm sure you have already heard about this event. Now you can watch all the excitement unfold as Doug Boling, Sean Liming, Paul Yao, and Jim Wilson attempt to code their way through the Westfield Mall in Seattle to a local camera shop using Windows Mobile 5.0, an Audiovox SMT5600, SQL Server Mobile, and the new shared-source Bluetooth .Net class library wrappers. If none of that interests you, perhaps the super stretch Hummer will. Check it out!

Thanks for the picture link Neil. It looks like everyone had a great time. It was fun to watch the video, it's probably one of the best tech video's I've seen in a while. 8)
