    I just hope this doesn't turn into another disaster for users like PocketGear's acquisition of PalmGear a couple of years ago. Until PalmGear "came back," I stopped using any of their sites altogether. Now that I'm on WM, I regularly check Handango for software and updates. Hopefully Handango won't be subjected to changes similar to the previous PalmGear debacle.

    Somedays it's not even worth chewing through the restraints...

    I should only have to LET the technology work for me. If I have to MAKE the technology work for me, it's not a tool - It's a boat anchor. And I've got better things to do than manage boat anchors, especially if I don't have a boat.

    Handango is now part of PocketGear... Things change. Currently, SplashData has bought Iambic... It seems the market is growing neo-feuds.
