Because of an update error in beta build 3604 of Microsoft Windows .NET, Microsoft has rereleased to its beta testers this version with a bug fix. "There is a known issue in build 3604 where certain warnings in the upgrade report will actually result in a blocked upgrade. This does not affect clean installs and doesn't affect all upgrades, only ones where certain warnings are generated in the upgrade report. You can workaround this issue by using the WINNT32 command with a /UNATTEND switch to do the upgrade."

Microsoft has a Windows Media Player version on its Pocket PC 2002, which supports playback of downloaded audio and video content, and RealNetworks paired up with AT&T Wireless and other mobile operators last December to extend its RealPlayer to mobile devices on 2.5G data networks. However, a challenge remains in finding the right applications to drive use of wireless multimedia players and delivering them at a price that makes them attractive and accessible to users, says Jupiter Media Metrix analyst Joe Laszlo. Being able to transmit wireless video of an accident scene could save time and money for insurance agents filing a claim, Laszlo says, but "if carriers have to charge users per byte or per minute for streaming audio or video content, charges will mount up quickly," which is a potential hurdle to the adoption of wireless streaming media.
