Pocket PC 2002

Posted by michael on from the things-to-break dept.

Microsoft is holding some sort of launch event today for a pile of new Pocket PC devices. Pocket PC Thoughts has a bunch of news items; PDA Buzz has a report and pretty comparison chart looking at the different models, and I'm sure people will post more links in the comments. So, is this the mighty Palm-killer?

    Yeah, right up until someone modifies Code Red or Nimda to attack unpatched PocketPC's over their wrieless connections:

    Executive 1: Hmmm... My PDA is being slow today. I wonder why?

    Executive 2: Why did you send me this file to have my advice?

    Executive 3: Boy, my pocket PC sure is heating up. It never used to heat up like-- AAAHHH!!! I'M BURNING! I'M BURNING!

    From the manual: "If you see a blank grey screen, you must scribble Control-Alt-Delete with your stylus on the touch screen to reboot"
