That's a very nice laundry list of features but the big question on my mind is when will these features make their way from concept and R&D into our hands. Its all well and good to walk onto a stage and say here is what we are planning to do to our OS and our devices its another when they say we will have this deployed within one, two, etc time.
Don't get me wrong I think Second Edition will be a marked improvement in several areas but overall between PPC 2000,2002, 2003, and 2003SE the OS has been evolutionary not revolutionary. I think we all want to see an OS coupled to a device that will cause us to:

:jawdrop:

The only device that did this for me was my original iPod 3635. I was completely floored by its capabilities. Since then *shrugs* Nothing has blown me away. I want that feeling back and maybe its just me but the Pocket PC has entered the era of the beige box. The specs and form factors for these devices are boring with the exception of devices like the Toshiba E805 many of the devices we have seen the last 2 years are boring. Smaller in some cases but boring.

I seriously hope that the above list becomes a reality in short order and that SE with its various supported display sizes and landscape configurations renews an interest in OEMs to go in new directions with their hardware.
