Microscrewup Pocket Reader FAQ
The following link http://www.microsoft.com/MOBILE/pocketpc/club/ebooksfaq.asp has been dropped from the MS website. Just a recap of what MS did promise though on this URL....
Will the Owner Exclusive update be a patch or a completely new version of Reader 1.0?
It will be a complete new version of the application. The security mechanisms in Owner Exclusive are deeply tied to the application, so a patch or update wouldn’t be adequate to add Owner Exclusive encryption to the existing Reader 1.0 application shipped on the Pocket PC.
How much RAM will this new version take up?
We expect this application to be around 2 MB in size.
When will the Reader 1.5 for Pocket PC with Owner Exclusive be available?
Our current expectation is that this will be in the first half of 2001. As work progresses and we know more we will communicate changes to this projection. Like the original Owner Exclusive work there are uncertainties and development work to be done. Once completed the application will have to undergo several months of testing to ensure it is both stable and secure.
Will this new Reader 1.5 version for the Pocket PC include capabilities beyond either the current desktop Reader 1.5 or Pocket PC Reader 1.0 functionality?
There may be some enhancements and improvements to Reader 1.5 for the Pocket PC but the primary focus is enabling the Reader application to use Owner Exclusive-protected content.
Will the Reader 1.5 for Pocket PC cost anything?
No, this will be a free download on the Web.
