Code Factory at CSUN; first GPS product for Windows Mobile-based mainstream devices

Sat Mar 8 16:08:14 CST 2008

Are there going to be any places to obtain the recordings of CSUN? I know 
ACB Radio used to do it up until last year, and they say that Csun is now 
providing this some how. I just can't make it to California, but I'd like to 
some how hear the stuff they demonstrate there, if they're recording and 
putting it anywhere.
