Windows Mobile 6.1

[Shane Nokes]

Is there any timeframe on when activation will work on phones using Windows
Mobile 6.1?

I just had to get a new phone because of damage to my old one, and lo and
behold while it says it activates Reader reports that it is not activated.

I would really appreciate a fix, or a new version of reader to fix this
soon.

I think using Microsoft's User groups to say that this is a good time to
switch from Windows Mobile devices over to Blackberry's. There programs are
growing and obviously Microsoft is going bankrupt. I've seen it for some
time. Microsoft devices like MSN Music and the Zune are out and window mobile
devices are going the way of the Newton. Window Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 looks like
the last of the bunch. It seems I have wasted a lot of money chasing the
Window Mobile myth. I think we are all learning that "too big to fail" really
doesn't exist. Microsoft had a good run while it lasted but obviously
Microsoft Reader going down is the dead carnary showing us that Window Mobile
is dying. Everyone better get out now.

Actually I can't say much, but I've had contact from the Reader team.

Also Windows Mobile isn't going anywhere. 6.5 is out later this year and is
a fairly major update...and Win Mobile 7 which is a complete from scratch
(from what I've seen and heard) redesign of Windows Mobile.

Also Zune isn't out. It was just announced that they are going 'global'
this year, and will be doing some really major updates to it this year as
well.

MS is also nowhere near bankrupt. They still have around $200-300 billion.
