My personal feeling is that the handset makers should just put
the damned compact flash slot on their phones, add the hardware
into their API and let the programmers do their thing. If they
build it and nobody comes, the handset makers can turn it into
another battery compartment.
But then it's important to remember that actual current state
of the underlying "OS".... and the current state of the
oyayubi-zoku's OS nation is both encouraging and depressing
(primarily because it's not yet PocketPC by both accounts).
Still, it would take some balls to put a power sucking CF slot
on an actual phone... probably won't happen until phone, PDA
and PocketPC are one big happy family.
...and until that happens, we're all just whistling dixie anyway.
