Yet another app that doesn't support MS Smartphone

You know what? It would be just dandy if software developers bothered to make it clear whether or not their application works on the Smartphone version of MS Windows Mobile.

Fair enough, producers of shareware and freeware can't really be criticised because, like, they're doing this for free, or mostly free but still, it is awfully frustrating to go through the trouble of researching apps, reading reviews, choosing the most likely best choice, registering to download, downloading, copying the CAB file onto the phone, negotiating your way through the File Manager and hitting "Action", only to be told the installation failed because the app is not designed for your machine.

Anyway, looks like I'm going to be compiling a looooong list of handy apps that everybody using true Pocket PCs absolutely LOVES but we Smartphone users don't get to enjoy.

This list includes FeederReader. This is, like, 300 per cent more frustrating because I was gonna use it in place of AvantGo, which I already established I can't use AND was looking forward to enjoying RSS with podcasts.

Note to self: ALWAYS find out first if the app works on MS Smartphone.

Note to HTC/Microsoft: Would you PLEASE knock out a version of the Xphone that runs on MS Windows Mobile 5.0, that has a touch screen and WiFi built in? That would simply rawk, ok?

Oh, and my birthday is coming up in about a month so if you could do that really soon and send me one to review here I would call you my dear uncle forever after.

And you know what? With that spiffy new WiFi and Skype, I could call you, dear uncle, every single day.
