I’m not kidding, this video is completely worthless. It’s just more of booth-vixen, Nora, showing off CarbonCloud on a UMPC. The first video proved popular, so here’s the encore. I’m sure Nora is proud.
And, seriously, what the heck is this CarbonCloud UMPC application? Here’s a bit I found on it from deep within the Interweb:
The foundation of the demo was CarbonCloud - a P2P framework to enable connections directly between users’ computers so they can instantly share location content in a safe and secure environment. With CarbonCloud you can create your own neighborhood, then instantly share your notes, digital photos and maps with others through your own distributed network.
Ok, I still don’t get it. Maybe you can decipher the CarbonCloud code. If you do, let us know what the heck it really is in the comments below.

Can’t say much for the video skills, but here’s a description from the “CarbonCloud” Blog. Apparently ((Echo))MyPlace is the application running on the UMPC and CarbonCloud is the P2P framework connecting them -
“With ((Echo))MyPlace, people were able to use a couple of Ultramobile PCs and walk around the conference floor - the UMPCs were connected by a peer to peer network running right from the computers themselves in an ad-hoc network. People brought in maps from GlobeXplorer, Yahoo! Maps and CustomWeather and cached them on the UMPCs, then dropped notes about their favorite places in Boston or at the conference, or pictures of themselves, and bounced these notes back and forth from one mobile PC to another.”

I think they realize the video was not the best -
“I tried to capture a little bit of how we created location-based notes in a short video but it turned out looking a little silly - what can I say? Hope folks forgive me.”
