 All the time people ask us, "Are you guys nuts?"
"What Mac user would want a Pocket PC?"
Our answer is always the same -- all of them!
Macs and Pocket PCs are great at the same things, but most Mac users will never know it.
Why? Because many software companies feel they can ignore the Mac market. They have for years and they'll keep right on doing it.

This, then, is the story of one more software company that didn't ignore the Mac community and, in fact, became a Mac software company. (A true "Switch" story, indeed.)
We had been developing custom software for the Pocket PC for quite a while. And, when we saw the Pocket PCs that were to be released about a year ago, they excited us just as they excite you now.
