Media Consolidation in a Broadband Era
An article in the August issue of PC Magazine discusses the new Handspring Treo 600 and HP iPAQ 2200 PDAs. Michael J. Miller suggests that the days of the standalone PDA are numbered. I agree!

The desktop version of WindowsMedia.com has been updated with a new and very nicely designed user interface. Microsoft has always thankfully retained a text-based navigation scheme for their sites, however the Pocket PC version still does not follow this simple convention and is disappointingly slim on content.
