CNET video - Motorola MPx200 Smartphone

All I can say is, "WOW!" This phone does even more than I expected and the form factor is very slick -- similar to the flip phones we've come to know and love. Thanks to Pocket PC Thoughts for posting the link on their site.

WPA wireless security offers multiple advantages over WEP - TechRepublic

This is an excellent article about WPA: WPA wireless security offers multiple advantages over WEP - TechRepublic I have written several posts in the forums over at Tablet PC Buzz.com about WPA.
