re Windows in your pocket here's the killer (IMHO) paragraph. Pity as WinPC would have been good for us, but this thing is just going to cost too much. Nonetheless, Microsoft can't help but be what it is. WPC is a Windows operating system crammed into a palm-sized unit. It's fat, its interface looks crowded, it's proprietary (synchronization is to Microsoft's desktop applications--Schedule+ and its Outlook descendants), it eats memory, and based on what we saw this week, most WPC devices will cost around $500. That's not a mass-market package.
