Windows Phone Thoughts: Ken & Andy Jump on Toshiba

I hadn't heard of the "Ken and Andy Show" until Pocket PC Thoughts reader Jason Clarke told me they were going to do a story on Toshiba's lack of upgrades for most of their Pocket PCs. The first five minutes of this linked audio broadcast tell the story. It's quite interesting - it seems that Toshiba North America has refused to comment on the issue and has referred all questions to Toshiba Corporate head office. I wonder if this means they're trying to nudge HQ to offer the upgrade?

I'm still pretty ticked off that I can't get an upgrade for the e310 I have - Toshiba has a big black "x" beside their name in my Pocket PC OEM book. It's just not right to ditch your customers. :evil: Heck, the e570 is from the same generation as the 3800 series iPAQs, and HP is offering an upgrade for those devices. Yet Toshiba won't offer one for devices only a few months old.

I listened to most of the radio show, which was good, but I had to roll my eyes a little when they started talking about the Canadian counterfeit currency issue - they seem a little out of touch with our money here. :wink: We haven't had $1 bills for years, and Canadian money has a whole whack of anti-counterfeiting features, including a foil zone. Any consumer-level printer has been able to duplicate the surface look of a bill for quite some time now, but it's the subtle details that matter.
