[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Windows Mobile 5

[Jason]

Ray and Peter, thanks for sticking up for Mark Space, I have been  
meaning to do this weeks ago.  I too am tired of seeing everyone  
complain about a date not being set. Thanks Mark Space for all of the  
hard work we know that you are doing in order to bring WM5 support to  
your product.  Can't wait to try it out.
