Wow you guys are kidding right?, there are so many applications for this that it makes me cry that i cant use it under Vista x64

1) Put Winamp's main window and playlist on it so you can always see the next song that is coming and the playback, while still having a full screen application running on your main monitor... (Eg. Play GRID on the PC and have your own music in the background, you can see what song follows)

2) While playing single player games on the PC, you can have a Notepad open on the PSP with a FAQ or strategy guide.

3) Weather widget, CPU/Mem Utilization, Email checker, etc * 100

4) Photoshop or other Tools that allow you to move panels, you can put the panels in the PSP's screen and have your entire screen for your Project's Preview

5) MSN, Skype, IRC, etc, etc

And so many others, i want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent suggestions! I can't wait to try it but I have Vista installed so I'll have to bring home my work laptop. Sort of a pain but I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Vista-compatible version in the near future.

at the moment it seems alot of trouble for something so little... maybe when they get the features they mentioned implemented, then maybe its more worth it

abit more involvement on the psp side of things would have been nice, like doing a larger portion of the rendering process rather than just displaying what the windows driver sent it

at the moment i can see 2 scenarios for it... your very energy conscious and you use your psp while your monitor is off... or someone makes a new version of the driver that makes the psp behave as a second desktop, rather than just repeating whats on the monitor

Wait, please explain better, i cant try it because of Vista, but i thought the made your PSP a secondary display?? at least it looks like that from the video...

Does it only "copy" whatever you have on the primary monitor???

I have to say, I'm finding it hard to find a practical use for this :p I suppose one would be to have the magnifier on the PSP screen maximised and then it can view everything zoomed in on the bigger screen (which would be great for stuff like photoshop or those with hard of hearing, having a zoomed in and zoomed out perspective without it taking up any more screen space.

wtf?

This looks pretty cool though. I'm gonna have to try this out later.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! No Vista/64-bit support. :'(

64 bit versions are not supported, as well as Windows Vista. I would like to provide a Vista version but it will probably never happen due to the changes in the display driver model regarding multi-monitor support.

oops i meant like, instead of displaying the output of the computer's video card like a monitor, the psp should be able to do so much more, like almost like another video card

guess i sounded kind of confusing.... guess i cant keep up with technology that well :)

Oh you mean the PSP actually doing calculations with its CPU/GPU to generate 3D content for the PC or itself, that would be sick, i could write another list of things that could be done with that :D

It would be great if they used the Vista Sideshow SDK to make it work as a Windows peripheral... :)

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
