Why, why would anyone want to do this to their beautiful silver iPaq?

I can't believe the image goes over the screen.

- actually, it isn't. If you take a look at the other pictures, you'll see that the screen is clear...there is; however, a reflection in the screen that may mislead you - sorry...(I didn't replace my WriteShield until after I took the photos).

To have the option cover the screen is an available option, although I'd only consider doing that on phones.

Doesn't it look great and... bullet-proof? :mrgreen:



Btw, I'm going to paint a nice camo on My PocketPC as soon as I find the time. :Fade-color

- I was told that with all the calls generated that they are planning to allow mail-ins! The owner will be back in touch with me when he irons out the details.

Everyone has different tastes I guess... it's kind of like the different faceplaes I see for various mobile phones... some of those designs are a little too funky for me.

Soft reset in the middle of a firefight in downtown Tikrit anybody?

Hunkered in a bunker playing Snails?

I think Pocket PC's will need to be a bit more reliable before they are ready for military/emergency prime time.

Actually the work I am doing for the DoD with Pocket PCs is all maintenance based, using cameras, checklists, electronic manuals, etc. There is a strong need for ruggidized units, however, as not all conditions are pristine.

True that the PPC platform can be unstable, but in controlled environments where there's tight control over the software installed, it's not difficult for me to believe that a PPC would be extremely stable.

In general, I find that the PPC's stability seems to have a direct inverse relationship to the number of 3rd party apps / demos that I install un-install.
