Quality Control -- What Are We Missing?
When you spend $500 to $600 US dollars on a Pocket PC, you expect to get a machine that is fully functional. Most of us recognize that there may be minor bugs or issues that will be cleared up with an update. What we don't expect is that there will be some significant flaw in our machine that affects its usefulness and ultimately our enjoyment of it. Yet, quality control issues seem to abound in the Pocket PC universe. Even the latest generation has it's share of issues and problems. Why is that? Casio..Compaq...HP
ARE WE BETA TESTING?
There are probably issues I've failed to mention here, and I encourage you to offer additions in this article's discussion thread. The point is not so much to file an exhaustive list of problems and issues, but rather to point out that each of these units went to market with flaws, some of which are fairly serious, all of which could have been "caught" by quality control measures before these units ever hit the shelves. The XIP technology that Microsoft has built into the operating system is great for allowing patches and fixes to be made directly to the ROM image but I'd much rather see it used for performance enhancements rather than bug fixes. Then too, some of the hardware flaws can't be "fixed" through software changes.
SO, WHAT DO WE DO?
