Hey Guys,

You said during the podcast that no one really uses MSN, but up here in canada AIM isnt really used at all. Msn is the most used IM up here probably followed by Gtalk. I think that the Xbox chat feature will be very useful up here. Just FYI. :P

Love the podcasts!
Greg

Hello,

Its same here in Europe, hardly none uses AIM but MSN is more popular. But i can see that Skype is getting more users daily and slightly eating MSN popularity.

I JUST had the same conversation about "switched bodies" movies the other day. The Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron movie is called Like Father Like Son.

You guys talked about how the Axim line is miles ahead of any WinMo cellphone on the market as far as specs go, and try to say that it has to do with the hassle to get everything tested and approved before you can get a cellphone to market. While that may be part of it, a device with the specs of the X51v plus a cellular radio would be such a battery hog, the tradeoff of additional size just to have a device that is usable for even one day would not be worth even releasing. The Axim's standars battery is 1100mAh, to power a VGA screen and 624mhz processor. The Moto Q is half those specs (QVGA 312mhz) with a standard battery of 1130mAh and I know that I can't usually make it a full day with that. To make an Axim phone of those specs would require a battery as big as what they use in the OQO. By that time, with all of that bulk its no longer such a hot device.

Hi,
Adding to Greg's post here ( in South America) most people I know uses MSN as their primary IM client. Almost nobody knows AIM , some people have Skype and/or GTalk , but usually they also use MSN

Regards
Alejandro.
