.NET Platform Device Capabilities

All this is useless without devices that use .NET. So what are .NET's goals for such devices?

Smart about you. Devices use your .NET identity, profile and data to simplify their use. They also respond differently whether you are present or not, and tailor notifications accordingly.
Smart about the network. Devices respond and adjust to bandwidth constraints, online/offline applications, and understand available services provided over a network.
Smart about information. Permit access, analysis, and acting upon user data anytime and anywhere.
Smart about "devices". Discover and announce PC, smart devices, servers, the Internet, and provide its own services to these. Also permit smart PC data access.
Smart about software. Applications optimally presented for form factor. Input methods and connectivity are appropriate for end-user interaction. Acts as a comsumer of "web services" via protocols and standards like XML, SOAP, and UDDI. Allow programmability and extensibility by other developers.
