Nope - different iPaq. This is the "iPaq Pocket PC" (it wasn't good
enough to rip off Apple's name and concept, now they have to rip off the
Newton too. And I'm already mad at Compaq for how they are screwing up
royally with the OpenVMS operating system and Alpha processors they got
when they bought Digital Equipment Corp.)

Yep. Looks like they may have made some smart changes to CE this time

product to try to get it right....instead of THINKING and researching
before shipping. ;-)
