Windows Phone Thoughts: Hi-PDA and Pocket PC Thoughts - It's All Good!

I know everyone loves the drama of conflict, so here's the final chapter: I just finished a 20-minute chat with Zhuyi, the Webmaster and owner of Hi-PDA. What happened was somewhat comical - it turns out that Zhuyi never received my email message or the form I filled out on his site. The webmaster@ email alias I sent my message to goes off into oblivion, and the contact form is broken and doesn't send him messages either. He contacted me once he saw the image, because he had no idea there was a problem.

In his email to me, Zhuyi apologized for linking to my image - he says he did not know it was an issue. In our private chat we discussed the difference between linking to an image hosted by Socket Communications, and images hosted by enthusiast sites. Zhuyi wanted me to apologize on his behalf to Brighthand, infoSync, Pocket PC Passion, and any other enthusiast site out there that Hi-PDA has pulled images from. Zhuyi tells me that from now on he will download images and place them on his server, and always give credit and a link to the original image and/or story.

I'm happy to report that Hi-PDA and Pocket PC Thoughts will be exchanging site buttons shortly, and I have an ally in the Asian PDA market. :D
