A different fellow named “William Frantz” was sentenced for negligent homicide following a DUI accident. We both happen to be from Michigan but the defendant is a 19 year old Michigan Tech student who just happens to share my name. I sympathize for the kid but the moral is clear. Drunk driving can be deadly.
I recently shot some video using the camera on my HTC Touch Cruise. I was easily able to send it as an e-mail attachment using Pocket Outlook and my GMail account. However, when the video arrived it was in an unusable format so I had to do some FFMPEG processing on it.
I saw this question today so I’m posting my response here for everyone.

By now there are a few million iPhone users compared to hundreds of million Windows Mobile phone users. Yet, in The Seven Biggest Mobile Content Stories of 2007, Fierce Mobile reported that iPhone Safari browser usage has dramatically exceeded Windows Mobile Pocket Internet Explorer.
I find this astonishing. Apple overcame a 100:1 disadvantage and a several year head start. Then again, I’m often taken aback when “average users” believe some feature is revolutionary when in fact it has been available for years. Now I realize that Apple’s skill is not simply making good products but actually promoting their use. There are no commercials on TV that show happy Windows Mobile users scrolling around web pages on a phone, so I guess nobody realizes its possible until Apple runs an iPhone ad. Suddenly everyone thinks only an iPhone can do this, that or the other thing.
