"The concept is actually so powerful it's hard to easily wrap your brain around, because the possibilities are vast. In essence, LiveCast is a Windows Mobile client that does real-time encoding and uploading of video to the Web. After seeing a demonstration of how it worked with Maps - they encode latitude and longitude information in every single video frame - my jaw was on the floor. Very impressive stuff."
