WM5 Unfulfilled Wish List?
A few things I was hoping for in WM5 -

>Close buttons that actually close applications instead of hiding them (as in SPB Plus)

>Improved Pocket IE, supporting java, http email attachments, etc (as in NetFront)

>Icons for launching applications on the Today screen (as in SPB Plus)

>Improved pocket calendar and contact applications - easier to enter data and more control over the data

I don't know what else...but basically, I don't think that WM5 offers much of a change or upgrade from WM2003SE. I'm not talking about the storage architecture here. I suppose using flash memory is good for some things, but it seem to sync slower. As far as losing data goes, I guess that with self restoring backup files from Sprite Backup I don't need to worry about losing data due to power loss.

if WM5 has all the above features, then no one will bother to buy the additional software fro SPB, Resco etc.

Even in the desktop version of Windows, there are so many areas which can be improved, but MS still does nothing to it.

So what WM5 provides is the basic OS that boots up your pda, and includes some essential apps. Those eyecandy or other applications are then provided by other software houses

Maybe I just cant find it, but I thought Windows Mobile 5 was supposed to be able to function as a mass storage device. I figured it would be just like Softick Card Export II. But it doesn't appear to have this option and Softick Card Export II doesn't work with Windows Mobile 5.
This really sucks, that was an important feature for me. I use it for school and work all the time and I cant install software on any of the machines. I will have to go back to 2003SE just becuase of this.
