I'm really interested in this device, but the bug with installed programs on the Windows CE OS disturbs me when coupled with the lack of firmware downloads on the official JoinTech site?
Is the firmware updates that really "fix" the CE OS something that can still be sourced from those of you nice folks here who have the updated to fix it ?
Also, exactly how does the Windows CE work (card only, dual boot, right on the internal memory, etc)? I'd be more interested in having the device boot straight to Windows CE and forget their own interface.
Here's what I've been looking for and haven't been able to find (hoping JE100 may fit the bill). I'm apparently the only one on the planet, but I simply want a new big-screen, fresh processor, big memory, tablet version of my beloved, dying 2003 or so era Toshiba PocketPC e-310, lol. You know, when Pocket PCs weren't phones-only.
What I mean is I want a full Windows CE-based, NON-PHONE, in tablet form factor. I'm a developer, so ability to install apps, and develop my own custom apps targeting the .NET Compact Framework is big on my list. I want to just be able to install and activesynch like I've always done with my old fashioned PocketPC.
So this Android stuff doesn't interest me, smart phones don't interest me, and the nice sized screened pmps with Windows CE and a custom GUI wrapper that prevents you from getting at and actually using Windows CE are also not of interest since you can't customize them.
My "killer app" where I have invested in purchased e-book type files is the Olive Tree Bible reader...if anyone here with a JE100 could download their free reader and a free bible and tell me if that works on this device, I'd be VERY appreciative for the information.

Thanks for any help and insight as I try to determine a replacement for my venerable old device.
