TomTom GPS Receiver in Keynote

A was surprised to see a TomTom GPS receiver identical to mine displayed in the first demo during the opening keynote. Ford Davidson, Product Manager for Windows Mobile 5.0, demoed an application called Rundo which provides data to runners about their running activity. This application was shown on both a Samsung i300 (Smartphone), and a HTC Universal (PPPE) device. Cool uses of the new APIs included a photo capture feature (to take pics while you run, logging the location where the pic was taken), integration into the Windows Mobile Media Player ( to display what song you're listening to as well as changing tracks w/o leaving the Rundo application.) Some of these features leveraged the new "State Activity" API which provides applications data regarding any state change on the device where the app lives. Rich technology which provides someone like myself with alot of ideas. Bill G was also hyped on this idea of a picture UI (for dialing, contact organization, etc) which was something I was writing on the plane trip to Vegas. Guess I can put that code into the snippet heap now. I'm currently waiting on the "Windows Mobile Enterprise Features" breakout session to begin.
