If the things I hear and read are true, I might choose to never develop for Windows handheld devices again. Ever. Ever-ever. Say hello to the new Apple - Microsoft. For the few of you that know me even in the slightest, this will count as breaking news. This based on me being quite positive to Microsoft products in general - but here Einstein's theory about the only two infinite things in life is in the process of being half way proven. //L
