An Update on Some Past Issues

I’ve been getting some activity in the comments about some of my previous posts and thought I’d share an update to announce how things are going and where we’re standing on a few different topics:

• Xbox 360 – Xbox LIVE Connection Issues Follow-Up
  I was supposed to hear from Microsoft about my Xbox LIVE connection issue on my 360 within 48-72 hours. It’s now been about 5 days and still not follow-up from Microsoft via e-mail or phone.
• Remote Control Access to Connected PocketPC Device
  I’ve been looking for a way to completely control my PocketPC cell phone (Sprint PPC-6700) from my laptop’s input devices. I want to be able to access everything on my phone and accomplish any task on my phone that I can (send a text message, run a program, make a call, etc.) without leaving my laptop’s keyboard or mouse. A couple of you have made suggestions, but nothing I’ve seen so far have actually worked. Either the application suggested couldn’t be found with the link provided, or the program had a general error after it was installed. I’m still looking for suggestions.
• Area Code Identification on Mobile Calls
  Also related to my mobile computing desires is the ability to get a generic idea of what area of the country a call is coming from on my cell phone’s caller ID. I’ve got to think there’s probably an application out there that will deliver the results I’m looking for, but I haven’t heard anything yet.
