ah yes, treo. they are really bad (made by htc but designed by palm who never got the hang of multitasking). such a thing with sound never happened on any of my htc devices and i owned a lot (wallaby, himalaya, blue angel, three universals...).
anyway, i tried the iphone. i really wanted to like it, but all the time i had the feeling that the phone was severely castrated by design. i was used to real multitasking, copy&paste, a2dp and bluetooth data transfer of windows mobile, so using the iphone was for me a huge step backwards to palm os and alike. also i prefer to have the possibility to use stylus and to use the touchscreen with gloves on when it's cold outside.
this is htc touch pro what you have seen. touch hd hasn't got a keyboard. it is the same size as iphone, but has got a 800x480 display.
windows mobile isn't as bad as you have seen. if a device crashes often, chances are that the device is broken. pretty much everyone in my family has got a windows mobile pda phone (because of the features) and they have to reboot maybe once in a month or so. no problems with calling or receiving calls whatsoever.
my own one crashes every three days or so, but only because it is a wm5 phone flashed with a beta wm6.1. i can live with that because the device is so useful. i can live with pc reliability because it comes together with pc functionality. if i were only interested in making calls, i would rather buy an old nokia 8210 which i'd have to recharge only every two weeks or so.
btw don't talk to me about dial tone reability, i was born and raised in the ussr. every windows mobile phone is more reliable than a soviet land line.
in later stories it came out, though, that holmes did possess much more general knowledge (and especially about copernican theory) than he admitted in "study in scarlet", so it is very much possible that holmes is pulling watson's leg at this point.
"Clashes and shelling between the Georgian and Ossetian forces in early August led to the deaths of six Ossetians and five Georgians; both sides accused the other of opening fire first, in what was the worst violence in years."
you are quite wrong there. the soviet doctrine was to always use as much conventional force as possible and to use nuclear weapons at the very last possible moment.
nato doctrine on the other hand was to use nukes as soon as russian arrive in west germany.
mostly uneven frets. to compensate for uneven frets the strings must be raised very high. that means in turn, that the player needs to apply much more pressure to fret the strings, which at this point starts to hurt his fingers. you can pay a luthier for a fret job, but it is often cheaper to buy a real guitar in first place.
there are also other problems like twisted necks (you'll again need to raise strings to compensate), sharp fret ends (could slice your fingers), bad tuners (the guitar goes out of tune very quickly) and so on and so on.
actually most new players quit is because they bought a guitar thinking "now i'll buy a cheap guitar and try whether all this guitar playing stuff is fun or not". cheap guitars are difficult and painful to play, though, so the fun is over fast.
nope, sorry. cyrix media gx was an x86 system on a chip and the reason why national semiconductors bought cyrix in first place. after a couple of years of mismanagement they threw away the rest to via, renamed media gx to geode and sold this part to amd.
media gx was a very interesting and a tightly integrated cpu. it contained a 32 bit x86 cpu, a graphics processor and a soundprocessor. both graphics and sound were emulated to the system as a real vga and a real soundblaster pro.
this system on a chip came out in 1997 and was pretty popular in set top boxes and subnotebooks.
the sad thing is, gm volt was developed in germany by opel. now gm has bonded all opel's patents and wants to close opel. all that while opel has started to make good cars.
now, which happens more often, strlen or creating a string? then again, even that problem is already solved in pascal - you can specify the size of the string when defining it.
1) changing the const for the string length indicator width in the standard libary 2) making the language using only the specified string length command by forbidding things like string_length:=mystring[0];

the driver's education is a bit more expensive nowadays.
also, you won't get license plates for your car if it is not insured.

try htc touch hd. it has got everything you want. in fact, the device is so good, it leaves iphone far behind.
earbuds are crap, period.
What have we here, laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No! Poems, no less! Poems, everybody!

i don't know about iphone, but such a game comes free with windows mobile :-b
they can try, but rambus has got prior art on that.
uhm, zero?

well, georgians were shelling a sleeping city. it is not an actual genocide but georgians still got what they deserved for that.

only if you are lucky. some of them are okay, but most of them - as practically all cheap guitars have bad necks with uneven frets.

a car is not an investment and all its actual value is the time it might save you.

These go to eleven.
only x86 has already been there more than a decade ago. remember cyrix media gx?
a very good idea indeed :-)
using your finger is fine when you don't mind smeared, bad readable displays.
now, which happens more often, strlen or creating a string?
then again, even that problem is already solved in pascal - you can specify the size of the string when defining it.
it can be solved by two things
1) changing the const for the string length indicator width in the standard libary
2) making the language using only the specified string length command by forbidding things like string_length:=mystring[0];
but then again strlen() would be more than x times faster (x is the length of the string).
