They join the likes of Pachube in offering a place for data from 'net-connected things' to reside, so other devices / systems can read from them.

What do you think - Pachube [3] does that pretty well, no?

We are in good company, too, with IoT friends like Adrian McEwen [4] and sen.se [5].

In case it helps someone...

The installation of NETMF 4.1 SDK seems to prevent some users adding items to the VS2010 Toolbox. In my case I was trying to install the WPF Toolkit, but other reports mention other Toolbox additions.

There's a thread at:

Visual Studio Toolbox Error

I'm getting the following:

• Often unable to deploy from VS2010 when ethernet is connected to the board.
• Often unable to use MFDeploy when ethernet is connected to the board.
• DHCP sometimes doesn't work.

Question - I notice that if I have ethernet connected when I connect the board and then run MFDeploy and do a 'Ping', I get:

Pinging... TinyCLR

whereas if the ethernet is not connected, I get:

Pinging... TinyBooter

Is this expected behaviour please? (device capabilities listed below)
