Welcome to the wireless world. Have you tried streaming yet? It's great being able to listen to streaming radio on your pocket pc.

I was abit under prepared this morning. Couldnt get pages to load very well and couldnt get streaming media to work. Was trying to download real player for ppc but got nowhere. Installed MultiIE which is abit better (used to using firefox). Next time I use it I know what to expect and what things I want to be able to do. VGA PIE :)

Unfortunately, it will never work with streaming content. You can read about the reasons for this at, for example, http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?threadid=96906

Instead of MultiIE (I recommend reading my comments on its memory usage at, e.g., http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35615&start=10 and http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35615 ), I think Spb Pocket Plus 2.x's PIE Plug-in is far better/faster.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Off topic, but:

I love your avatar/name, AceRimmer. I'm a big fan of Red Dwarf. Coincidentally, TiVo recorded the season VII episode with Ace Rimmer last night, so your namesake was close to mind :mrgreen:
