Re: familiar on something other than iPAQ?

Just to accent Russ's statements: we have to be able to forsee enough
volume to justify another set of part numbers.

Given the low nature of Microsoft's WinCE prices to OEM's, in concert
with the high costs of another set of part numbers in a *VERY* high volume
retail channel (remember, we're now building hundreds of thousands of
units/month), this implies we have to see really signficant volumes
for it to make any business sense.

And we are just at the cusp right now of beginning to have enough
apps usable by less than wizards for it to make sense to think about.

The best I can say is to ask you to come help make it the a no-brainer
business decision we all believe it can become.
