Well, mine (from phillydiscounters) still had owner info for a Debra Hill of
Astra Pharmaceuticals. This matched a label on my 32mb card which referenced
"Northstar 1.0".
IIRC, back in Janauary, someone posted that Northstar was a vertical market
application used by pharmaceutical sales reps and that, in fact, the company
was rolling out iPaqs.
