The attached application uses the ITC MDI API and looks similar to Document Capture. Additionally MDIdemo has a background thread sending files using HTML Form Post (as MDIwatch does) and you can save load settings to/from files for later reference.

The new CN50 and CN4 launched by ITC supports MDI (Mobile Document Imaging). ITC calls the technolgy eMDI for enhanced MDI.
MDI is a technique to capture documents in a more reasonable way than by just taking a photo of the document. If you make a photo of a document, the result is not usable for online reading or archiving. You dont need color and the ‘images’ will be big in size, have uneven background, maybe tilted and sheered. MDI will take images of an document and correct the orientation, crop the image to the document borders, remove angles and normalize the image.
MDI can be used instead of flatbed scanners with similar results. The document scans are small and can be easily transfered to online services.

Here are some examples:
Hello, are any usefull sensors applications out there?
ITC’s new device CN50 supports a G sensor by hardware. It delivers rotation, position, acceleration and magnetic data. But how can this help in commercial applications except for automated screen rotation? I dont know. The most G sensor enabled apps actually developed against HTC sensor are games. A bubble level application will not be that accurate with the form of the housing of the device. See a list of applications (mostly games) here.

We are often asked about estimated battery life time.
As you know, this depends on a lots of settings and the environment. Inspired by Ronalds presentation/session called ‘Thinking green’ at an ITC developer conference and on request of partners I did a small app that will log battery status including device settings (radios activated).
