I am just wondering, if it does support printing function for internet explorer, words, excel, etc, I will be really really happy about that, since I don't have to pay 40 bucks to fieldsoftware for the printing function.

Do you mean 3.0? (I'm assuming that what you wrote was a typo.)

I think he means the upcoming WindowsCE 4.0. I haven't heard much news about it, and I seriously doubt that it will have built in printer functions. But there are programs out there that let you transfer documents from your PPC to a printer, even through the IrDA port. Something like PrinterCE or PocketPrinter. Something cliche'd like that anyhoo.

Yes, I do mean the upcoming wince 4.0, if they have the printing function embedded, then I don't have to pay $40 extra for a printer software.

. . . Besides, there are actual Freeware programs for Windows CE.<br><br>simon, I believe you'll have to wait like the rest of us for any details. Microsoft has spilled at least ten times more information about the Stinger cell phones than what the Talisker PDAs are going to include. The only "for sure" piece of information I know is that the multimedia capabilities will be expanded to include video playback, specifically MPEG2 (for DVDs.)
