"This web page lists which devices expose usable camera modes via DirectShow and those which make problems. Since Windows Mobile 2005 all devices should expose their camera data via DirectShow to software developers. Many devices provide their camera data only at lower quality than the camera can actually do. In practice this means that the built-in camera application (which usually uses a propriatory API) makes full potential of the camera while software developers can only use those modes that are available via DirectShow. Some of the reported problems might be solved with later ROM images. Our experience is though that once there are bugs in final ROMs then these are usually not solved lateron anymore."
Apparently some ROMs don't tell DirectShow what they can do as far as the built-in camera is concerned. I hadn't realized how big of a problem that could be for developers until I saw this write-up. Interesting stuff - and useful if you're planning on deploying devices with homegrown camera-enabled apps!

"The minor quibble we have with Gates' comments is that he may be missing what people see as the real appeal of a possible Google Phone. It isn't so much the software, which will have to be effective, but the potential for a Google Phone to be the razor sharp edge of a blade that cuts into the cellphone industry. We have high hopes that a Google Phone would be backed by a Google Network, with its services available for a far lower cost than what the wireless industry charges customers today. That's the real point of difference that has people interested in Google's efforts."
News earlier this week quotes Mr. Gates as being highly critical of the rumored Google Phone. This got me wondering - If Bill Gates owns a cell phone, what phone would it be? Obviously it probably wouldn't be an iPhone, and if we assume that all of his infrastructure is Microsoft (duh...) then he'd probably want something that could sync to Exchange - hence a Windows Mobile device. So let's have a bit of fun today and theorize about Bill's Mobile. If we're lucky, perhaps someone in the know can fill us in on the answer 
So, what do you think? If Bill Gates owns a Windows Mobile phone, what model do you think he's carrying around these days?
