Hi Ashly and all,
This is a little off topic but still.
The PACmate Omni is still being made.
Though even though I am a Freedom fan they are not doing much with it right 
now.
The new thing is the focus des plays but, if I know anything about Freedom 
Scientific they will come up with something.
I just want to set the record clear the PACmate Omni is still on the market.
The older 4.1 is not it is 6.5 that's it.
So if you use a PACmate check what version you have.
Does it say Omni on it?
When you reset it does it say jaws for pocket PC 6.5?
Hope this helps
Bridget
