> 2) Why would MSFT put out the news release regarding Windows CE to be in stores by the fall if it planned to scrap the idea altogether?

A fair point, and Microsoft has a habit of sticking with software until it gets it right.

But MS is not above eventually dumping things that don't work. Even WinCE is it's 3rd attempt at a handheld OS (one of the other failures was Winpad). And software companies tend to blow loudest just before they abandon something -- think of IBM's last ditch effort to promote OS/2.

But I'm not really a pessimist. There's risks ahead, but if (like you say) SCKT could be profitable soon, relisting could following soon (how may profitable quarters will it need?). And then, my hope is, the stock price will REALLY take off. The estimates I posted here from somebody or others March report predicted $2.50 I think it was, but without any specific answer to the specific calculations in the report, I still dream of seeing something much better than that.
