Can we be a bit more general about your request and say have a transfer
software that will work on Mobile Windows PC 2003 or later, including Mobile
2005. MobileSpeak Pocket has just released a version of their software that
will run on the new IPAQ's that are running the new Mobile 2005 operating
system, which is newer than the operating system on the PACMate.

excellent!).

which could be
