Hi. I'm particularlyinterested in your message Nick where you say the virtual machine can get hold of a device and connect it automatically. If you can tell me how to do that please? I have to connect my windows mobile to it regularly as I have to beta test for a company on rare occasions and to update my contacts in it regularly as that is my primary phone until I can use the Iphone in conjunction as well!
