Once released, or 5 years - whichever comes first. By that time, we'll be on Windows Mobile 2009 :mrgreen:

And the Bleep is a brick! 8O

exactly, I removed the first layer and saw the second layer in Photoshop. It told me breakfast is coffee(free), lunch is Chinese($9 each person).

Default Seattle, Summit, Free Stuff

From my perspective, the biggest change at this year's summit from last (my first) was that MS was listening. They were not only open to input, they were asking for it, and while some of the old "MVP's only complain" attitudes remain, the whole push this year was that "MVP's are valuable... Listen to the MVP's"

Some tough questions were asked and they were answered openly with supporting information for the path that MS is persuing... I actually saw one current opinion in Mobile Devices altered by our input.... will it get action? No clue, just that humans were involved and humans responded on both sides.

_Everything_ was presented as NDA, so we don't really have any option to share anything that has not been release through other channels, but I think that it's probably ok to say that we saw a few positive things that we feel are in the PPC's future because of our incessant pounding of MS with significant user issues... and that's _very_ different from last year.

>> Free Stuff <<

More last year than this, but even if Jason totaled up the coin value for all the extra goodies that he receives for this prime site being as visible as it is, I'm guessing that his return per hour would total up to migrant labor wage levels.

Personally, my total "haul" (if memory serves) from this summit was a nice jacket, bowling shirt, dop kit, two tee's, clock/calendar, pen, pen light and a tire gauge... and a huge amount of invaluable information and associations... a pretty damm good return from my perspective.

I've gotten two pda's since my first award, and being as subjective as possible, think that the raw amount of tech support and product feedback that I have given for those specific devices far exceeds the cost of those two items.

For me, the biggest point is the "thank you" that's implicit in the award.

I'm glad that they were listening.
Afterall listening and doing what we want makes them even more money.

Indeed,

Giving Bart Martens a thumbs down. He's only a community-leader of a site with 25.000 members and then saying his influence is only local?????? Talking about a US-centered attitude.......

This means also, that unlike any current pocketpc, a full batter drain will NOT erease your pockepc.
Thanks Rudolph

WOW 8O! That sounds fantastic!!! Hope it works though. Do you think 32 MB is enough to run multiple apps? Do you think this would cure the 32 process glitch that the O2 XDA II has??? Maybe they should make it 64(prog)/128(storage)MB hehehe :wink: Wait a minute... isn't flash memory always erased if the battery is drained or are you talking about a different kind of flash memory (maybe like the ones in sd or mmc cards?)? Hmmmm if Moto pulls this off successfully I might get a Moto MPx when it comes out :P
That sounds just like the Casio BE-300's setup—16MB Flash and 16MB RAM. The problem is that if things get corrupted, it’s very hard to deal with. Also (at least in the BE-300 and ePods) there is no simple way to restore to a clean, working configuration, like a hard reset. With the ePods, your configuration can survive a hard reset. Overall, I prefer the security of knowing that my device is impossible to permanently screw up to the security of knowing my data will last without batteries.
