Basemaps - Imagery

Question

Hi there, I am currently using version 10.1.1 mobile and am taking advantage of using the Streetmap basemap.  This works great as you are not required to be using this in a connected session as it's local on the device.  I am wondering if there is anyway to get at imagery that would be used the same way.  It's a bit unclear in the help as to the use of ArcGIS online as basemaps.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

I would also like to add imagery to my mobile map when a network connection is available.  Has anyone been able to do this?  I am NOT using the out-of-the-box application from ESRI.  This is a custom application.  I have implemented the following code but all I get in the MapControl is a big red X.

TileServiceMapLayer tsml = new TileServiceMapLayer(@"http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer", @C:\TileCache);
                tsml.Open();
                map1.MapLayers.Add(tsml);

Most of the imagery available requires an internet (or 3g/4g) connection to access.  You could use SID files but they are huge.
