David, I am forwarding your comments to the developer. You make some very valid points.
Just so you know, I agree! I have suggested that they consider licensing the software to a *person* so that person can use the software on multiple machines. Saving that, at least go the palm software route and license the software to a particular PocketPC (that can then be used on multiple computers).

I recommend it because it is the "standard" - virtually ALL software out there is written with the iPaq in mind (point in case: PocketMac) Also I have not had a problem with Compaq's customer service. I ordered some stuff, did not like it, and it was cheerfully returned. Now if you are talking about iPaq repair service I DO have a buying tip: I bought my iPaq at Best buy - and I was talked in to buying the extended replacement warranty - best thing I EVER did! About 4 weeks after I bought the unit I noticed that the backlight was not working correctly - I took it back to Best Buy and showed the guy at the PDA section my problem & my warranty. He promptly popped open a BRAND NEW iPaq box, took out the 3850, and exchanged it for my unit - NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Now that is my idea of customer service! Caveat: I do not know if the other major adult toy stores offer the same deal YMMV >I also do not recommend any hand held that lacks a > flip down screen shield. Compaq's design (which isn't unique in the PocketPC > world) almost guarantees a broken screen unless you buy a protector for it. Agreed - that is why Compaq listened to its user base and includes a cover and 'bumper' sides in the new models -- if I am not mistaken, earlier iPaq users can buy the cover for @ $20 - it fits the 3600 & 3700 series as well. -- Hope This Helps!
