I got these two quite old Windows Mobile Professional phones (with touchscreen and
everything) and beside the fact that they are my phones I am using them just to display
my calendar entries on my desk. Now I thought it would be a great thing if those two
QVGA devices would display personal pictures in a slideshow.

And it would be even better if they would get their pictures from the internet. And

you'll ever need.

Today I received a mysterious box with a SONY
HDR-SR12E camera  in it. I was expecting a camera but not one in HD (1080i)
and with a humongous hard disk (120GB).

das hab ich dann auch mal per VM zur Verfügung gestellt - aber wirklich überzeugt

hat es zumindest mich nicht - nungut, ich muss damit ja auch nicht klar kommen.

There was the Digital

Image Suite and several other tools like Hugin

and Cool360 which I used over the last years to create panoramic images. Now there's

a new tool available in 32 and 64 bit (for really really huge images!) from Microsoft

Research. It's free at this point and if you're on Windows it's definitely worth the

try.
