Hi, Sure - glad it helped. This is one of those things that reminds me again to shout out: Dear HIMS, is there a plan to translate the SDK? Thanks. Cheers, Joseph

Thanks for explaining. My reference to the absence of preferred features is simply a general desire for notetakers to perform a little more on par for the price they cost people but is certainly not a bash of a product or company that took the lead on revolutionizing the physical size or feature set of the average notetaker.

Windows CE 6.0 does not support AES at all (at this point). The most important thing that needs to be done, in my opinion, is not an OS upgrade - it's the driver that needs to be present as part of a future firmware to support AES encryption.

HIMS should beef up its current products before rolling out new variations, as appreciated as those variations might be to some. Thanks for entertaining our complaints.

This is true for any Windows CE devices, Sense or otherwise. Many thanks. On 7/8/2010 7:52 PM, Joe Orozco wrote: > James, > > I am by no means belittling your situation.
