MEDC Brainstorming

We got a bunch of people together in a room today to brainstorm topics for the Windows Mobile track of MEDC (some stuff that would fall under other tracks also came up but we tried to focus on Windows Mobile today).  Below are the (mostly uncensored) notes collected from this meeting.  So what looks most interesting?  What's missing (with emphasis on things specific to Pocket PC & Smartphone)?  Your feedback will shape this event.  If you are interested in speaking on a topic (maybe even one of the ones below) check out the Call For Paper.
