I just posted an article at Code Project for Multi-Touch Robot Control on Windows 7 using Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 and WPF 4.0. All the source code is available for download. First time I've posted to Code Project. It was relatively easy to do.
I loaded a video up to YouTube so you can see the app running with the NXT robot.

My entry for the Code7Contest was putting Windows 7 in my truck. I own a 09 Toyota Tundra. I put a laptop mount in the truck and attached my HP Touchsmart tx2 tablet. I use it as a platform to capture sensors and location information as I'm driving. In addition to sensors and video attached to the laptop, I also access the OBD II port on my vehicle to capture the data that my truck computers/sensors are generating. Other features of the app was to read documents using TTS to me as I'm driving and synchronize with my HomeGroup. I also used voice recognition to have the app quiz me. Biggest issue there was getting accurate recognition in a noisy vehicle with a desktop mic. I will be looking at ways to improve that.
The contest rules required me to create a video that was no longer than 3 minutes and/or 10MB file size so I'm not able to show all the functionality. They don't provide a direct link to the video I uploaded to their site so I've uploaded the video to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Watch for more videos on YouTube showing more of the app's functionality.

I posted a new article called WPF Scrolling Content with Flicks and Gestures. I had been looking for a way to scroll content without a scroll bar. So I started with a ScrollViewer control in WPF and added a StackPanel with Images. The article shows how to scroll content by clicking directly on the image content. And it shows how to animate the content scrolling with flicks. I included gesture feature to zoom the main image. Take a look at the video and tell me what you think.... Enjoy!!

The article that I just wrote was tested on the HP TouchSmart tx2. This code should also run on the Dell Latitude XT and XT2 Tablet PC as well. Those products use the same N-Trig hardware.
I don't have a Dell Latitude Tablet PC at my disposal so if there is anyone who reads this article that has one, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you if you were able to make the code work.
Thanks...
