I think it's just a particularly volitile area. All the business folk are convinced that this is the next gold rush and as a result things are just nuts. I don't even have a cell phone contract to go with my pocket-pc phone as I think T-Mobile is a ripoff and can't be trusted and yet I don't know who can be. I think the flash plugin is well positioned for this space technically, but whatever is going on, it's in the hands of the moneymen/architects of our doom/dealmakers.

yeah, I realise that, but it's still an odd way to behave when your trying to break in to a market.
I hope flash lite 2.0 appears on pocket pc as well, but macromedia have always been vague about the chances of that happening, usually saying something like 'we're currently in talks with microsoft'. At least they're still talking :). You do have to wonder if flash lite 2.0 will be subject to the same licensing when it comes out, and discontinuing the plugin slams the door in the face of possible third party projectors, doesn't it? I know that MDM (the company behind Zinc) were being held back from releasing the pocket pc version of Zinc by Macromedia, and maybe this is why... although i'm not 100% sure that they are still being held back

That price is actually for a distribution license, if your audience's
PocketPCs are ones that don't already have the capabilities.
Keep an eye on Bill Perry's blog... the mobile team has been working to
provide better context on this particular distribution... it requires a
group statement because of the multiple partners involved.
