If less is more then the .Net Micro Framework is HUGE! by Peter

If you are into small devices in a big way then you should take a look at the new .Net Micro Framework, which will be released very soon. You can run this on your watch or similarly tiny devices as long as you have 300k RAM and 1M flash. There is a LOT of stuff missing from the MF but you generally wont want to do most of that sort of stuff - e.g., database access. As with the compact framework you can use Visual Studio to create, compile and debug via emulators, then deploy via USB or serial connections.

One aspect of this I find very intriguing is that the MF is self bootable - i.e., you don't need and OS.

Can you think of a use for this?
