    How things have changed. It was not that long ago Microsoft was accused of stealing everyone tools or not allowing Microsoft Competitors to add tools to their software. I have purchased my first 10” handheld. Microsoft Competitors have achieved what Microsoft couldn’t. First they steal photo technology and put 10,000 of thousands out of work. Remove standards and enclose devices that restrict access and even insert booby traps inside devices to stop repair and destroy said devices to force user to purchase new a device. I hear they are stopping people from buying music and renting instead, are they now stealing from artist? I see blogs out there saying the desktop is dead, are you serious, you are talking up a toy that can only be built by desktops. Innovation was removed from them to sell stuff so much for a free World Wide Web as claimed by Microsoft Competitor supporters. I now have a device that is only good for stealing unprotect wifi internet accounts for access to the internet when not at home using my network, to store my files in the cloud that will hold me to ransom one day for my files for money or I will lose all soughts of benefits. I see those who complained the most about Microsoft now support this new direction, who I use to download software to my computer claiming to be giving me one thing when really they were giving me much more and then I would have to rebuild my desktop, for some strange reason. Easy to find them just type free software downloads and the same old gang? turn up. Any service provider who needs to supply you a device to deliver their charged services should provide the device free. Its seems that Microsoft competitors and competitor supporters what to destroy standards and innovation for their user to be herded like cattle to fatten their bank accounts. Talk down the Microsoft tablet that was created to standards and open their tablet for user to be innovated and extend their machine for their purpose.

    You what? Which device did you buy? Apple we know is a closed shop; always has been, always will be. Droid, AFAIK is pretty open.

      I was wondering "what are you on?" when I read it. A mixture of bile juice and ketamine I suspect...

          I've used rifles and machine guns before, but last weekend, I went to a shooting range and tried my first handheld gun. Quite enjoyable, but the range was a bit loud.

            If you breathe slowly and calm yourself down before posting, you might find that your arguments start to make more sense. What, exactly, are you accusing/not accusing Microsoft or its competitors of?

                  I had one of those! For the time, they were brilliant (even if the "handwriting recognition" was slow and annoying - I could probably still remember how to write most of the characters so it would read them). I moved from them to iPaqs then HP6915 iPaq phones running Windows Mobile 5

                                    How things have changed. It was not that long ago Microsoft was accused of stealing everyone tools or not allowing Microsoft Competitors to add tools to their software. I have purchased my first 10” handheld. Microsoft Competitors have achieved what Microsoft couldn’t. First they steal photo technology and put 10,000 of thousands out of work. Remove standards and enclose devices that restrict access and even insert booby traps inside devices to stop repair and destroy said devices to force user to purchase new a device. I hear they are stopping people from buying music and renting instead, are they now stealing from artist? I see blogs out there saying the desktop is dead, are you serious, you are talking up a toy that can only be built by desktops. Innovation was removed from them to sell stuff so much for a free World Wide Web as claimed by Microsoft Competitor supporters. I now have a device that is only good for stealing unprotect wifi internet accounts for access to the internet when not at home using my network, to store my files in the cloud that will hold me to ransom one day for my files for money or I will lose all soughts of benefits. I see those who complained the most about Microsoft now support this new direction, who I use to download software to my computer claiming to be giving me one thing when really they were giving me much more and then I would have to rebuild my desktop, for some strange reason. Easy to find them just type free software downloads and the same old gang? turn up. Any service provider who needs to supply you a device to deliver their charged services should provide the device free. Its seems that Microsoft competitors and competitor supporters what to destroy standards and innovation for their user to be herded like cattle to fatten their bank accounts. Talk down the Microsoft tablet that was created to standards and open their tablet for user to be innovated and extend their machine for their purpose.
