I’m in an early train from Hannover to Nurenberg, so today I plan to film as much as possible at the Embedded World trade show in Nurnberg. Lots of new ARM Powered demonstrations are probably being shown there. Look forward to many videos coming up. Please send me all video requests and tips of cool things at Embedded World that you have heard about here as comments or to my email charbax@gmail.com For example, to help me, please do some search on blogs and news sites about what the coolest things that might be shown at Embedded World and then let me know the company names in a comment here or to my email so I can try to prioritize my day and film as many cool things as possible. Thanks!

Microsoft and Open Source?
Posted by – March 2, 2011
I thought it was fun to see a Microsoft booth in the Open Source park at CeBIT 2011, so I went jokingly to ask if it was a mistake, turns out Microsoft has lots of things going on with Open Source around the world. “Microsoft is changing into a more open company”, does that mean Windows 8 for ARM will be open source and free? Does Microsoft prepare Azure OS to compete with Chrome OS? Should Microsoft and Nokia simply take Honeycomb and improve on that and call it Microdroid?

Nintendo 3DS is awesome!
My first time playing with the Nintendo 3DS! This is going to popularize non glasses 3D screen for the first time! The 3D experience is actually awesome, it’s impressive, it works! I just wish Nintendo would install Android Honeycomb on this device and do something like the Playstation Suite, provide all their games legally to the Android platform. They should also make a 3G/LTE-enabled modem add-on for the 3DS to allow for online gaming outside of WiFi hotspots, and they should do a games subscription model, $10/month to access all the games as downloads, including new level upgrades and online gaming for all games.
