Alright so as I have talked about before I do technical phone support for a data recovery company. Any who the deal is I do that from home, more often then not. I have to have the ability to email people while on the go and still have the ability to sync up with Outlook on my desktop. I also was going to be buying this as my personal cell phone, so I wanted all the cool stuff you can get in something like an iPhone without having to own a Mac product. (I don’t want to hear it .. I am anti-mac and that is that) So here is the deal, I can have this Wing through T-Mobile and it allows me to be able to run ActiveSync, which honestly installed with out a problem. With other PDA’s I have had it was always a headache getting the darn thing working with the PC. It has a 2.0 mega pixel camera, MP3 player, Microsoft Office Mobile, as well as the ability to be logged into 3 different Instant Messaging client. I would have to say though the coolest thing about it is the ability to one switch from T-Mobile Internet service to and WiFi hotspot, and two the integration of the media on the phone with all the applications. I can take a picture, bring it in to my viewer, edit it, and then send it in a message. With all the iPhone hype I just thought I would give you all an alternative.

So my main source of income is working as software support for a local data recovery company. I have been doing this type of work on and off for 15 years. Anyway that aside I would that I had pretty much watched the death of FAT32, which I was more than happy to watch.  With that being said I have noticed in the past six to seven months huge increase in the volume of customers that have a FAT32 drive they need recovery on. Now this becomes an issue for multitude of reasons. First and foremost would be the sheer lack of software out there that supports this recovery type. Second would be that it is very old, unused technology for a reason. It is not as stable as NTFS, and it has no security at the file level. Read more
