Default HP 2215: A Speedster?

Alex Kac, the developer of Pocket Informant, posted a ton of pictures and thoughts about his experiences with the 2215 running Pocket PC 2003. Most telling: "BTW, PI FLIES on this device. I've never seen dialogs and screens pop up so fast on a WinCE device."

Moreover, a Brighthand thread shows that SNES emulators are playable on the 2215. Yes, not just NES, but SNES. Awesome!

Is this true, can someone confirm? I would hope so but I seem to have read last night somewhere that the 2200 is supposedly the fastest, for some weird reason?

It happened without my knowledge. Read this thread and it will explain everything:

Back to topic; I can't wait to try out one of these new devices. PPC 2K3, or whatever you wish to call it, seems to offer dramatic speed improvements.

In all fairness it wasn't really Foo's fault. It was the idiot who replaced the picture that Foo was linking to.

That disgusting picture really spoilt my day :evil:

"Bandwidth stealing" is a controversial issue. If you're paying for bandwidth for a Web site, having other sites linking to your photos and other media can eat up a lot. That "idiot" was trying to make a point.

You can debate whether he did it the right way, but you can also argue that Foo should have known better. He's not a newbie. (We need a "newbie" smiley.)

For what it's worth, I think Jason handled it better.
