I've made a start on my presentation, I've got a few notes but there still isn't a presentation there. I seem to have a habit of picking topics that I don't know all that much about, mainly because they're the ones that interest me! So then I have to do masses of research so I can fill 30 mins talking about it. This time I've gone for development on windows mobile with .NET, which I got into about 2 months ago when I wrote my PocketGCal app. Which is still the only mobile application I've written that really does anything. The great thing about using the .NET Compact Framework though is it's so similar to the desktop version (only more compact, obviously). So I'm going to look at it from that angle, and since I know there's not a whole lot of .NET lovin' amongst the BarCamp folks I'm going try to keep out of the techie stuff, focus a bit on the cool things you can do with it. I just hope Sarah Blow doesn't decide to watch.

Chris Keane has submitted a bunch of changes and fixes that I've just commited into the main repository, including:

1. Timezone issues are now handled so that poutlook shows events in local time
2. Added ability to exit the application
3. Added a status bar to let folks know what is going on
4. Added the ability for the user to store their credentials

Go here for the latest source and I promise to get a binary up here soon.
