Good Podcast. I liked that information on Window CE was presented because intelligent decisions do involve considering all options.

I have recently toyed with the idea of eventually purchasing a Windows CE device, but still keeping my T3. I find the 640x480 screen to be a bit tempting, especially since the book readers I use are available on CE also. The Windows devices seem to handle multi-media better and I am beginning to get a little frustrated with my wi-fi card that refuses to play streaming audio without a soft reset.

I get mixed opinions about Windows CE concerning programs continuing to run in the background, alarms not sounding when they should and it's difficult to tell what is current and what is based on old information. Now if I could just find out how much battery time one could expect from an HP 640x480 device.

Nobody, whether Windows CE or Palm seems to want to ever talk about battery time very much. It's like it's an embarrassing little secret.
