Windows Phone Thoughts: Faster Smarter Digital Video now Shipping

The day has finally arrived - my digital video book is now shipping from Amazon.com. Hooray! :D Writing this book was one of the most challenging things I've ever done, but I think it turned out quite nicely. It's amazing how quickly things change though - back when I was writing the book, 2.53 Ghz CPUs were the fastest, and Intel was rumoured to be releasing a 2.8 Ghz by the time the book was shipping - so that's what I wrote. Instead, Intel released a 3.03 Ghz CPU with Hyperthreading! Oh well, at least my advice in the book is timeless. :lol:



So about this book...please buy it. Thinking about getting into digital video? Buy the book. Not sure what kind of DV camera to purchase? Buy the book. Know someone who just bought a DV camera? Buy them the book. Feel like archiving some old VHS tapes full of family memories? Buy the book. Want to encode video for the Pocket PC? Buy the book. Want to make your own DVD home movies? Buy the book. 8)

I don't normally have emotional attachments to products that I pimp through this site, but it would absolutely make my day to see this book break into the Top 100 on Amazon for at least a day, and it won't take that many sales to do so. Is Pocket PC Thoughts valuable to you? Have you ever considered making a donation but wanted something extra in return? Buy the book and we'll be square. :wink: My Canadian brethren can order directly from Amazon.ca, while you blokes on the other side of the pond can get it from Amazon.co.uk. Don't want to order it online? Contact your local book store and ask for it using the ISBN: 0735618739.

Thanks for your support in this!

UPDATE: I've just confirmed this with my sources: if you give this book to someone for a Christmas present, they actually won't put on that "Christmas Holiday 5 pounds"! It's true! That's gotta' be worth $13.99 US! :lol:
