    I’ve blogged before about the great guidance given in David Allen’s book Getting Things Done, well one of my colleagues stumbled across this video on YouTube of David giving some Google employees some guidance on how to use his tools and systems. 

    It’s long at 45 mins but definitely worth watching.

    Often they provide the Error Code and I always use the Reference at PocketPCFaq.com to provide them some guidance on what could be causing their problem.

    If you haven't seen the list then take a look HERE

    It provides details for Pocket PC 2002 all the way to Windows Mobile 6.1!

    OK so I should probably have a link called - Let me Live Search that for you...

    However...

    I did find this website really amusing as it's scary how many people ask me a question and I submit a Search in Google or Live Search and find the answer they were looking for...

    This website creates a link to the Google Search for them ;)

    Kind of a subtle...why didn't you try looking first suggestion ;)

It allows me to keep all my Laptops, PCs and Mobile Devices in Sync.

    The updates provide some performance and reliability enhancements.
