You sound disappointed Paspie. I found the heads-up device article interesting. And while it has little to do with HPCs, most of the readers here have a diverse enough interest that they can appreciate new gadgets that are introduced to the market place.
Merging the discussions would be counterintuitive and counterproductive. The majority of members asked that the forums be divided up into separate areas, i.e. CE5, CE6, etc... C:Amie did that based on the requests of the majority...and it entailed quite a bit of work on his part. Plus if you have no interest in a specific topic or area, you have the ability to block out that entire area in your forum control options.
If you want to see something new and exciting in HPCs and Windows CE, especially for these old legacy devices, I'm afraid it will be up to you or someone else to come up with a new application and share it with everyone. The HPC is becoming a rare commodity these days, and if not for HPCFactor and a few other sites, there would be nothing at all...so I am for one, grateful for what I have...though like you, I admit, I crave more.
