I'd have thought it impossible for Bill to actually have USED one of these. Otherwise, the sheer idocy of the lack of a real close button, the utter incompetence of their Bluetooth stack and the ActiveStynk program, and the fact that after 5 years or more of the problem, they still haven't solved the "alarms sometimes don't wake the machine and go off" problem. (You'd think a pocket organizer would make sure to be able to sync the contacts and calendar with Outlook without duplicating appointments, and reliably activate alarms.)

Don't get me wrong- I've owned Pocket PCs since my Casiopia e100 more than 8 years ago- but they're far from perfect, and they don't seem to be getting better. I now have an HTC Mogul with WM6 (with 64MB of RAM) and I STILL have to add 3rd party software to make it easy to actually close apps, or it runs out of memory and won't start the camera app!
(Memo to Bill: DUH!)
