Sometimes your PC is your PPC, but with a smaller screen. If you're travelling, you don't carry your PC around with you. And why would something like Kazaa or Emule be useless on a PPC? I have a gig of stuff on my SD card, about as much as I share on my PC. Maybe more.

It's not convenient to download to my PC when it's 1500 miles away. Or when I'm stuck in an airport for 3 hours between flights.

It's a PocketPC. Why is that concept so hard for people to understand? It might not be able to do all the things you can do on a PC, but it seems to me a person would want it to do as many things that you can do on a PC as possible. And it's frustrating when other PPC users don't think it should.

It's like the argument about large hard drives. "Why would you want a large hard drive on your PPC?" And the answer is, because it's a pocket sized PC, that's what it claims to be, and that's what it should be in as many ways as possible.
