The Mobile Minute 9 (Re-booted and ready to go)

Hello to my three readers out there.  I back to the world of blogging - posting and reading (I sure had a lot of catching up to do!).  Our project is to a point now where I can breathe a bit (and resume my life!), so back to the digital presses for The Mobile Minute. When I announced in The Mobile Minute 8 that I would be in absentia this week (as well as that I missed a .NET CF chat), Neil Cowburn gave me some (well deserved?!?) er, feedback.  Quite a few things have happened in the last week; I won't attempt to re-hash them all in this edition.  Here's what's on deck today:

• Jonathan Wells, Product Manager for .NET CF posts to microsoft.public.dotnet.compactframework announcing six (6) new whitepapers. I have some weekend reading to do :-)         Please note the follow-up post by Alex Feinman - he has some concerns.
• Article  on debugging unmanaged DLLs P/Invoked from managed code (by Alex Feinman of the OpenNETCF.org brain trust.   Here's his post to Usenet)
• Tom Scheidegger (a .NET MVP) posted a list of .NET CF samples over on MS-Download. 
• From way back on November 13, Neil Cowburn has a post about the lack of System.Guid.NewGuid() on .NET CF
• I had not checked the Case Studies section of the Smart Devices Developer Community in a while and I see that there are more listed here than last I checked.
• Tablet PC giveaway by Microsoft
• Some good stuff in the Mobile Communities.   (interesting teaser about moblogs on the home page there)
• AT&T has launched their EDGE network  (even if I was an ATTWS subscriber - I'm not; I use T-Mobile and love it - I wouldn't see EDGE in the Cincinnati area for a long time due to Cincinnati Bell Wireless who is an ATTWS affiliate - they have some hokey arrangement that ends up being less optimal for the end users  screwing the end user.   You know what Mark Twain said about Cincinnati...
• Windows Mobile Support sites
• Database viewer app on Handago
• Photo-review of the SPV E200 - which is the same phone as the QTek 8080 that I have on order and should be receiving in the next two weeks ...oh the waiting!
• msmobiles.com has an article on Using ActiveSync over Bluetooth with Smartphone 2003 phones
