The Latest, Greatest Pocket PC Is .... A Palm VX???

[Kurt Hunciker]

A new Fry's ad depicts a refurbished Palm VX running Microsoft Pocket PC software in color! This must be the cheapest Pocket PC on the planet, for just $79. :bangin:

Go to http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/rop/

Under the technlogy ads, you can find the Fry's ad showing the Palm in question.

It is amazing to think that Microsoft has missed the boat all this time. All that is required to run the Pocket PC operating system is a 33 MHz processor and 8 MB of RAM. With this hardware, you, too, can have a small and elegant Pocket PC! (LOL)

I get an error that there is no ad...

I just tried it again, and it worked. If you go to the website and click on Technology on the left side of the site, the screen will redraw and display several advertisers, including Fry's. Clicking on Fry's should launch the ad -- at least it does on my computer.

Right - that's what I did, and I got the error.

EDIT: Oh - if you click on Frys on the LEFT it works. If you click on Frys on the RIGHT it doesn't.

Unbelieveable (well, not really actually...but it should be).

Here's the pic in question:

Maybe Microsoft will sue for false advertisement? Copyright infringement?

The edited photo doesn't even look good. The lackey that did that at Fry's doesn't know how to use Photoshop.

It is most obviously a hack job.. I think even I could have done a better job.

My 10 year old sister can do a better photoshop job then that.
