What an amazing month. Within 20 days the complete stock of the PPCW.Net i-Mate Phone Edition went out of stock again and your interest into the device was huge! 8O
I received tons of E-Mail enquiries and I hope I was able to answer all the questions. But if I see this interest from you guys, it makes me confident that Microsoft and their partners are on the right way with the Windows Mobile Phone Edition 2003 because I never thought about such an interest into the device when I ordered it the first time.

I wish all my Chinese speaking readers a Happy New Year or better in Mandarin "Gong Xi Fa Cai" or Cantonese "Kung Hei Fat Choi"!

You might wonder why I remember Chinese New Year as a "Gwailo"!? Pretty simple - because I lived and worked some years ago in Hong Kong, when I was there for a trainee program

Okay you PPCW.Net Forum junkies, here it is: if you can't get enough from the PPCW.Net Forum this is your news feed. As announced yesterday, the latest Forum version - I've updated the Forum to yesterday - also includes this RSS feature and I heavily tested it today and it works fine.

Because the PPCW.Net Forum and its community is heavily growing (if you haven't joined so far - you definitely do) if decided to update the Forum software to the latest version to fulfill your needs in a better, faster and smoother way. So here it's here, all 13982 lines of the Forum software got upgraded. Most of the changes have been made "under the hood", but quite a few new features have been added as well. Some of the more important changes and additions are:

As you might remember, a couple of weeks ago I've asked you if anyone wants to join the PPCW.Net team as editor or moderator and one of the replies came from Brian aka "DubWireless" from Dublin, Ireland.
While I'm still in the process for the editors, I'm happy to announce that Brian  joined the PPCW.Net team to support me with the Forum.

Please welcome our 1000th PPCW.Net Forum member "akjaveri", who signed in yesterday night! :-) Also a warm welcome from me!
Since the relaunch of the PPCW.Net Forum in summer last year it's growing strong and might become one of the best wireless forums, especially for the i-Mate Phone Edition, xda II, MDA 2 (not to mention another great UK based xda Forum here ;-))

From today until Saturday 10. January, every PPCW.Net i-Mate Smartphone and Pocket PC Phone Edition order (with a maximum of one device per order) will includes Deutsche Post shipping charges which means you can buy your dream device without any additional shipping costs from the PPCW.Net Shop!

Beside getting the best Pocket PC Phone Edition and Smartphone, this is another good reason to buy your new dream device today! :-)

Wow, how time goes bye... ;-) I left my home to spend Christmas and new year on December 23rd and came back last Monday January 5th. However, because we had public holidays here in Bavaria yesterday I wasn't working yesterday anyway :oops: but finally Christmas is gone, 2004 arrived and also no more public holidays for a longer time - so here I'm! Reloaded to update PPCW.Net on the frequent base you used to know! :-)
