Agreed. And even tho these devices have faster CPU's than the Newts, they
are still *slower* than the Newts. That's just silly.
Not to mention that HWR in Pocket pc's acts more like an
afterthought. It's like all of the forms, dialogs, etc are still Windows

Pen input.
PocketPC will never feel right for me... that's all there is to it...
