It's Time To Take A Break!
OK, so Jason wasn't completely accurate in his kickoff post -- he thought we wouldn't have 8 hours of news if we posted it every 33 minutes. He was wrong -- we have had 24 freakin' hours of news. I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted, and so is Jason as well as the rest of the team. We're going to return to a slightly slower schedule, so that neither you, our dear readers, nor us, the editors, go insane. 
There is one hanging matter... and that's Jason's iPAQ 2215 review. He promises it's going to be the greatest review ever (apparently, it's already about 300K of HTML), and he promises not to sleep until it's done. Anyone want to place bets on when it'll be up? :zzz: I can just picture it now... Jason working through the night:
In the meantime, we hope you enjoyed the wild ride, and hopefully, we'll be able to ride the Pocket PC 2003 wave to better handheld computing! Rumors are already starting to surface about the next OS... but we'll leave that for another time. :lol:

I'm sorry, I caved at ~3AM and fell asleep. :sleeping:
But I was planning on pulling an all nighter. Now I'm glad I didn't, considering you guys pulled off 24 hours of steady posts.
Maybe this could be the theme for next season's 24. :wink:

Does this mean more Micros :robot: ft NDAs (couldn't resist that funny emoticon! I'm not an MS hater)? Just wondering. Is everyone going to be under an NDA again? Or are we going to hear more rumors? I missed the rumors... Oh well. But what sort of rumors? Remember, this isn't CNet, this is PPC THOUGHTS, so yeah.
Anyways, You guys are awesome, though. I saw a 2215 iPAQ (It's small!) today at CompUSA, along with a PPC 2003 version of Toshiba's 755. I was like "hmmm... I didn't know that this had the new version of PPC" because you didn't post about that until later today! Anyways, yeah. I also met this one guy at CompUSA that is part of www.tcpocketpc.org, which happens to be down right now... Today was a great PPC day for me, as well as everyone else! :beer:

Yes, excellent work, gang! I would also like to state for the record that the mobile version of the site kicks much butt! It was the only way I was able to access the site for most of today and it was truly a pleasure to use. (Though I wish it were simpler to open links in a new window so I don't have to tap the back button so much to get back to the new posts.) I only hope that page load times in the new Pocket IE are significantly faster than in 2002. As nice as the mobile pages are, it's still kinda tedious waiting for a page to load completely.
Anyway, you folks are the greatest! Keep up the excellent work!
--Dave

As long as I'm a Microsoft MVP, I'll be under an NDA. My NDA specifies that if another site posts news, I can link to that site, but I can't "break" the news. That's the tradeoff I have to made for being on the "inside" a little and getting to add my voice to the shape of the next OS. I think it's worth it. :wink:
