Page 66 - Windows CE Editorial by CH Blickenstorfer

The article is a frank lamenting of the lack of Windows CE OS progress, =
and how Palm is catching up.

"Maybe the whole thing is sort of a good new/bad news situation. The =
good news is that some of the latest Pocket PCs are actual very polished =
devices. The new iPAQs are great and some of Toshiba's and Viewsonic's =
offerings provide great value for the money. The bad new is that in many =
respects they still lag behind what the old Apple Newton MessagePad =
offered several years ago. The MP 2100 had a fast StrongARM processor =
years ago, had twice the resolution of a Pocket PC, had dual slots, =
superb battery life, and never lost any data. It also had screen lid, a =
terrific backlight, and an OS that was designed from the ground up for a =
PDA. I can only image where the Newton would be today had Steve Jobs not =
killed it."
