Just saw an interesting article in MSDN Magazine on the WiMo robot.
Here's a link to the article:

Some links to get started:

What really piqued my interest was this text at the very end of the article:
"Did you replace a Windows Mobile 5.0 device with a Windows Mobile 6 one? What's
your WM5 device doing now? You probably disabled
the cell phone service, but everything else should still work. If this is the
case, you've got a fully programmable mobile
computer collecting dust in a closet-you should do something with it. Build a
robot."

Using an old, out-of-date cell phone for a robot controller ! That's COOL!
