Too bad everyone couldn’t use this. Actually what can’t MS implement a feature such as that.
So, almost none can use it
Well, I just tried d/l-Ing the TouchXperience & the touchXplorer. My trophy responded w/ a “windows mobile does not support .cab or .xap file formats. Where else can I locate these in a recognized format?
Hello,
I heard this is not safe to use. I read from the chevron dev boys.
