Stream Video and Location on your Windows Mobile Phone

Something cool that Chris Pendleton blogged about is the ability to stream video and location data from your Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones. The software is called Live Media GPS (currently in Beta). The video is streamed using Silverlight and the location is mapped using Microsoft Virtual Earth. I can already see some really cool scenarios for this application. If you have a GPS and Camera in your Windows Mobile Phone, Download it today.

Thanks to Nick Hodge for the heads up about the release of Photosynth. This is one piece of amazing technology. Have a look at what Nick has conjured up with Photosynth with his photos of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You can now do the same and make your own.

Then Peter Ulm sends us a email letting us know about the integration of Photosynth and Virtual Earth, The fun never stops does it! All the information is over at Chris Pendleton’s blog.

You can see what Ill be doing in the weekend!

Something new on our TechEd 2008 site is a map of our TechEd 2008 delegates across Australia.

Make sure you get along to the Demo Comp Finals which are happening across the country.

I saw this on Harvey's Blog and thought its definitely a cool addition to Virtual Earth Maps for Australia. As you can see from the image below that is what the Sydney Opera House looks like in Birds Eye View in Virtual Earth.

Kordahi did a screencast of what it looks like, see below.
