The Waiting
Posted by Jon Westfall in "THOUGHT" @ 12:05 PM
There is a song by Tom Petty that so elegantly states “The waiting is the hardest part”, and few times in my life have I identified with those words as strongly as the last few weeks. Why? Well, I’m waiting for something. And it’s Windows Mobile Related.
Back in October we were super psyched to announce the availability of Exchange Service Pack 2 and we were all a bit dismayed to find out that we’d have to wait until the MSFP was released in order to use the most anticipated feature, Push E-mail. Jason Langridge has a nice write-up in his MSDN blog describing the situation and the features we all want if you need a refresher on the whole MSFP thing (And a link to a video that will make you drool if you’re into remote device management). Anyway, we were told to wait, and waiting we are. The Exchange Server I sync to is updated, it’s got everything installed it will need to support the MSFP, all I need now is the ROM updates that will let me experience it. Rumors have been floating around now for a few weeks that i-Mate is planning to release ROM updates by the end of this month (Some said by the end of this week), yet they still have failed to appear. So I’m left waiting… and it’s driving me nuts!
In the true spirit of this community, I figured we could all use an outlet to get our frustrations out about what we are waiting for. So follow the advice of another song and tell me – What are you waiting for?
