Chris, thanks much for the review!
To pull off the CD required the effort and feedback of many active in the Handheld PC community - vendors, webmasters, experts. Special thanks go to Chris at HPCFactor, Rich Hawley of HPCNEC.com, and John Ottini and his newssletters. Chris, Rich, and John, made suggestions of what should be on CD and provided us useful feedback as we put it together, making sure info accurate and relevant. Having said that, we are ultimately responsible for the good and any mistakes. The vendors participating with their great software also deserve a lot of credit. David Seagull of our internal staff, knowing little about Handhelds, actually pulled it together. His lack of initial knowledge and his compassion for "newbies" help make the CD simple and straightforward to use.
We actually put the CD together in an effort to create a compelling package for selling HP Jornada 720/728's and NEC MobilePro 900/900c at
www.UsedHandhelds.com. We bundle the CD and a new Wi-Fi with all MobilePro sales. We greatly reduce the price of the CD with Jornada sales. Also, all our Jornada and MobilePros come with a 30 day return guarantee. I am happy that Chris sees it as a strong stand-alone product for existing users.
I am a long-time fan of the handheld form factor. In fact we still have a very strong business supporting HP 200LX users at
www.palmtoppaper.com. We now publish Smartphone & Pocket PC mag, and it is fascinating to see with the release of new Windows Mobile 5 and 6, the keyboards and even the clamshells slowly coming back.
