Re: [NTLK] Courier microsoft

I only see windows being a problem because its probably the only host OS this courier device would sync with since its a MS product. Kinda like how the zune hd devices look really interesting as iPod competitors but only if you run windows (as they only sync fully with windows, but community projects are in the works for other OS).
Personally I don't care what the device itself runs as long as it works good, doesn't get viruses/spy ware/etc and it syncs with Mac (and maybe linux since I want to start playing that field too). Just my 0.02$.

I would give it a try.
We don't know if it runs windows and the gimmicky-ness won't be determined until it's used in real life conditions to determined its use and how it hooks into our other lives (iPod/PMP, Mac/Win computer, internet lives, etc).

Back when the newton first came out I thought it was a gimmick - I still wanted one as a good fanboy, but I did not see much use for it. After using it, I saw that it was not a gimmick. I guess the lesson is to not judge a book by its cover (or the marketing that goes into it)
