Facebook link?  Why not an M$ board or similar?  Why do they assume that everyone has a facebook account?  I'd like to be able to comment on such WinMo things, but there is no way I'd agree to the current (last revised september 2008) T&C's of data hoarding social networking sites such as Facebook.

Well without getting too deep into the ethics of facebooks t's 'n' c's, you don't *have* to give them any real personal data.  I assume that MS is using it to try and embrace an extremely wide and accessible network of people, credit to them.  I bet they get more feedback there than they would on microsoft.com!

You are probably right about them reaching a wider audiance.  It just bugs me a bit that Facebook were  all over the news saying "users data belongs to the user", but that is a complete contradiction of it's t&c 's.  Rant over, sorry.

Before people start asking questions like - why the honeycomb...?
it might be worth taking a look Here - Windows Mobile 6.5 @ Mix 09 which shows lots of new 6.5 features (like no honeycomb).
You can also follow these guys on twitter - @lokeuei and @wmdev and also @windowsmobile

I have no Facebook - so someone please ask this:

On Windows Mobile 6.5 will I be able to be treated like a big boy and be allowed to control HTML email myself - allowing pictures to automatically load without granting permission EVERY time ?

Excellent question! Now can anyone tell me the answer? Been awhile.
