I feel sorry for anyone still using WinMo today, and this isn’t why. (The thing is, WinMo became popular long before curated app stores did. I never installed a single app from the Marketplace, yet I had a ton of stuff on my phone.)

It’s probably nearly as capable as Android for most stuff, and more capable for some stuff, but the UI is downright awful, and it’s very unstable.

And he also said that nobody needs more than one button on a mouse, then bam, Mighty Mouse.

And he also said that Apple wouldn’t do a tablet, then bam, iPad.

And he also said that Apple couldn’t compete in the phone market, then bam, iPhone.

And he also said that a video iPod was a stupid idea, then bam, iPod Video.

And he also said that Apple wouldn’t do an e-reader because people don’t read any more, then bam, iBooks.

Basically, take what Steve Jobs has said won’t happen with a grain of salt.

So, to explain what’s going on here in case anyone doesn’t want to follow links or do further research…

The ICAO and UPU have decided that it’s dangerous to ship lithium batteries on commercial passenger air flights. Therefore, they’ve effectively banned it.

The USPS does not use their own cargo flights, they have international mail added to passenger flights. This is why they’ve been forced into this decision.

In theory, sea mail could be used, as it isn’t affected by this decision, but the USPS stopped offering sea mail in 2007.

The other carriers, UPS and FedEx, aren’t changing their stance because they have their own flights, and no passengers are ever in danger – these policies only affect passenger flights.

And, the USPS will still ship these batteries domestically, because they’re not bound by these international agreements when shipping within the US borders.

This also means that USPS Global Express Guaranteed shouldn’t be affected, as it’s a rebranded FedEx Express service.

The screenshot in question isn’t of this machine, though, it’s of an Atari 8-bit, it seems.
