Things to be taken up with the author really.
fine but i assume he reads this thread, the lines below the review encourage the reader to have their say in the forum thread linked there.

1. It does say the 4.2 core, and there have been no 5.x releases on a H/PC. It's a semantic argument, but a weak one.
2 & 5. Its site policy not to endorse hacking, you know this. Foxit, ok but it is a beta.
4. Included, ok fixed
thx for reply and fix.
you forget about point 3.
1.: as weak as PIE on hpc2000 - erm, on cenet.
(again, whats with that part in the review?
)
2.: sorry i missed what you mean there in your reply.
5.: still what the review says there is not the truth. i dont like to read lies in a review. but thats me

UsedHandhelds are a partner organisation of this site, their parent company has done a lot for the community over the last 10.5 years. They supplied the review device, at their expense and our template policy dictates that we have to enter a price on the review content. If you don't like the idea of paying $399 for the package, you don't pay it, and you don't get a UsedHandhelds MobilePro.
This community is at times all too unwilling to support anyone within it who has a shred of financial or business involvement in it. Whether that is software, hardware or information. We wont be apologising for the fact that it is a commercial review on a device that was once retailed at well over $1000.
In the face of freeware, paying $70 for what used to be Ansyr Primer, or buying PocketDOS instead of using BOCHS may on the same logic be utterly absurd as well. But hey, why buy SoftMaker Office when I can warez Pocket Office!
Put simply, as an organisation we just do not agree.
hmm i think usedhandhelds is great. if someone finds their prices high, fine, but they are still great.
i disagree on the community not willing to support that - every community is like that, ppc too, just the user number is higher so can give a good enough living to developers
actually i think the hpc community is "better" in this respect, i mean where do you see a hpc warez site?? you can find LOTS of those sites for ppc..
who would pay 70$ for a pdf reader though, when 1
) adobe is lots better and faster 2
) this primer is basically impossible to buy now 3
) if you have a 900 then on the cd you have full version of primer, and if you upgrade that 900 to 900c, you should still be entitled to use this cd and its contents.
whats this with warezing pocketoffice? wow...seriously i dont think this counts as warez.
this classification is hurting to me as the creator of the cenet pocketoffice suite.
also it will never offer the same features as softmaker, it was never the goal to replace softmaker. the goal was and is just to bring the hpc2000 platform experience to cenet.
i thought that was obvious, if not, then i apologize, hopefully this fact is made clear now!
also i forget who commented on the "full office" problem but i do agree partially, wordpad is almost the same except for spellcheck. same for powerpoint. i disagree on spreadsheet functionality, pocketexcel is LOTS better. and i like pocketaccess but each to their own.
