Microsoft research - embedded devices

  • Article
  • Microsoft is always looking into new ways in which we can interact with devices. Here on10 Laura Foy looks at some interesting new devices with Windows CE (Compact Edition)
  • WinCE is a compact version of Windows found on Windows Mobile devices, PDA's, GPS and even medical equipment. The most compelling invention I liked was the RSS linked picture frame. So I can use my Windows Mobile 6.0 device with Windows Live (send to space) to post my photos to Windows Live Spaces which will be able to be automatically downloaded to my picture frame or that of a friend or relative who has a subscription to my Spaces RSS picture feed..
  • Also Eye-Fi looks set to revolutionise digital photography by combining a wireless transmitter with a 2GB SD RAM card, effectively wiring your digital camera to the network. Now a 3G or EDGE version of this card would be a killer app..
