I'm using PocketRSS and I put in the URL that you have above for the thoughtcast.xml feed and it will not download the Audio data, any help?

Thank you!

I love the thoughtcasts! I hope the two of you and Ed keep them coming.

I was wondering how I can download one's that I've missed. I think I missed one or two of Ed's early ones. Is there a page that has them all listed for download?

Thanks!

We don't have a page just yet, but if you look at the XML file:

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/xml/thoughtcast.xml

You'll see all of the MP3 download links. It's not pretty, but it should work. What we're planning on doing is having the ThoughtCasts be listed as an article type, so you'll see them all show up on the articles page (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php).

Fixed. Sorry about that. Left out a couple 0's (I much prefer 1's myself).

Great podcast.

I've been rolling a hosted exchanged service around in the back of my head for awhile. Especially when I bought my smartphone and now my Phone Edition.

I guess what keeps me from doing it is I haven't been able to nail down any concrete benefits. Sure I don't have to connect my PDA with my computer to get my latests PIM data, but I have other programs like PhatNotes and SPB Finance that I would still need to sync.

I thought there would be benefit if my girlfriend and I both did it, but I don't know if a HES would enable better interaction between our calendars. Like scheduling appointments.

All of my emails are pop emails so I don't thing the push email would buy me anything.

What are you're thoughts on these?

thanks

Dell seems to be the only manufacturer going after the consumer market. They keep their prices low and there quality high. It's just to bad they've declined to enter the smartphone market.
