wmv ? ;)

WMV is up now.

I'm happy to see a positive reaction to VueFLO. I've seen it written off as a gimmick elsewhere, but it seems useless in certain situations.

Whoops. I meant useful, not useless. I hope that wasn't a Freudian slip!

Is this the Mystery Device mentioned earlier?

Could you kindly tell us how your inking experience is on the HTC advantage, and can ink written notes or articles be transferred easily to a PC in a common format. Also perhaps demonstrate it in some future video ?

Thanks, and great video by the way.
