[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] [PR] Mark/Space Expands Online Store with Third-party Software

[John Tenny]

Wonderful announcement and I'm glad that you're working to support the 
Mac and Windows handhelds. However, as a software developer with a 
program on the Windows handheld (as well as Palm), recommending MS for 
Pocket PC has generated so many user help requests  for things related 
to MS and not my software, that I have stopped the recommendations. 
I've waited (and waited) for something that indicates that there is a 
real interest on the part of MS to fix the PPC version, but I just 
don't see it. I can't in good conscience recommend that a mac owner 
purchase a PPC. I do hope this changes soon.

I understand about not quoting due dates, but something about progress, 
features, whatever would be useful. A caution: be honest. One stretched 
bit of truth and you'll do yourself big damage.

  Peace,

    John
