Where is the serial port on the new Pocket PC's ?
And I'm not talking about USB. The serial COM port (RS232) that was very popular a couple years ago seems to be disappearing and/or hidden from the spec. sheets. Heck even the new X3 specs. don't indicate if they have it or not.
Unlike the dim bulbs who created USB and require a host/client architecture, the serial COM port offers itself to be much more flexible and less dependant then USB. USB is only faster. That's it.
For me personally, a serial COM port is a must when purchasing a new device. I don't suppose there is a site somewhere that keeps track of more detailed specs. on all PPC devices and if they have a COM port or not?
