Did anyone catch the PocketPC cameos on this week's episode of The Wire on HBO?
One guy sent a text message on his xda Pocket PC Phone Edition. a couple of scenes later Detective Jimmy McNulty used some sort of ruggedized PocketPC running a GPS app to pinpoint the location of some text message transmissions to trace them through the carrier.
pretty cool stuff on an even cooler show. in true HBO fashion, they will be replaying it all week though they are also replaying the previous three episodes to allow people to catch up. the episode in question aired first on Sunday the 10th following Sex and the City. I believe it was titled: Storm Warnings.
speaking of storms, i need to update my avatar to show the hail damage inflicted last night.
