He just got his new book released and it is now available on the Internet and in a store near you!<br /><br />The book is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321133528/qid%3D1059641565/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/104-3889142-9510360">"Pocket PC Network Programming"</a> and provides a great amount of information on Pocket PC connectivity.
