I'm still on WM6.5, and not decided yet on WP7. Most likely I'll be letting
the first wave of WP7 devices pass me by (have to keep my wallet in check).
I'm certainly interested in HS on WP7, if the first wave of WP7 devices
proved a match to Android 2.2.

I've been using HS with MyMobiler on my desktop/notebook for quite some
time. The benefit of touch typing on the full-size keyboard makes it
worthwhile, despite HS remaining handheld sized. MyMobiler does lag a bit,
though.  :-/

I do appreciate the HS work you've shared and will share with us, Chris.
TQ.  ;-)
