Whitepaper for PPCPE/Smartphone from Microsoft.... - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi all,
Just found this whitepaper from Microsoft about the PPCPE 2002.
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...d75b/Mobile Device Management White Paper.doc
It appears to be written for OEMs and describes things like the Action Engine, etc.
Thought you all might find it informative.

what exactly are we looking for? can't see anything new because we go straight to our Atom Section in most cases. Nevertheless, thanks for informing us!
EDIT: sorry, now I see it's in your name section. Quite a handful!!! thanks
Guys and gals, I've just finished migrating my latest articles & Bibles from the last ~5 months into the Wiki (so far, I haven't had the time to do this).
VERY important: I use my own scripts to convert my HTML-based articles to PhpWiki (also using other, Web-based PhpWiki converters). Unfortunately, there're some constructs that I just can't convert (and don't have the time to manually adjust ALL the articles - remember, there are hundreds of them); for example, consequent rows separated by only one line feed. (With them, the rows aren't rendered separated.)
If you encounter cases like this and would like to read the original instead,
1. you can find almost all these articles in the General forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) here; you can easily find them by just entering a, say, sentence to search for from my Wiki article, only searching for my nick and the General forum in the Advanced Search engine ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php )
2. at the bottom of many of my articles, there's a "Cross-posted to" section. Just click the XDA-Devs link in there.
3. alternatively, you can also search my blog ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ )
I do hope you'll find my articles useful

[Q] Software for Linear programing

I don't know it this exist, however, i'm interested in finding special software made for solving Linear programing problems. Specificaly economic problems like: transportation problem, assignation, simplex method, etc.
this all can be achieved with excell, but i'm interested to find is there any no mess no stress specific software?
thanx in advance.
I doubt there is a specific program runnable on the phone which does this, but the translation of the problems to code shouldn't be too bad.
After looking at the wiki pages about the programs you mentioned, they seem to be tied with sigmas and integrals which are essentially "for loops". Which means making the program isn't hard, its just a question of "who is going to make a program for these problems when it may not be used often?"
check Spacetime:
SpaceTime 4.0 is the most powerful mathematics program ever developed for Windows Mobile powered devices.

[Q] Running VBA code within Android a possibility?

Before starting a new thread, I used the search function and looked through the "check these threads before starting a new one" listed threads but didn't find an answer. If this has already been addressed, my apoiogies.
My company uses Excel spreadsheets with custom Visual Basic macros that I have written when we test medical imaging equipment. I would love to use a Tablet for this but Dataviz states "that code type is not supported by handheld platforms, so Documents To Go cannot execute the VB code necessary to use those features. "
Is this an accurate statement? I don't know enough about Android yet to know whether it is correct or if this is perhaps outdated information. The statement was made in June of 2010.
Is Visual Basic totally imcompatible with Android or is there hope that custom macro enabled Excel spreadsheets may work in the semi-near future?
Thank you in advance for any information you give me.

[Q] Can anyone point me to article: custom Android with special permission mgmt

Hey all,
I've been trying to track down an article I saw a couple of weeks ago (I thought on XDA) which I now can't seem to find (despite reading the last month of posts in And Dev & Hacking, and on main site).
The article was about a custom Android version which included special permissions management (sort of) in which the user could tell the OS to lie to application about certain data, or block the request.
The key thing is that the OS could be set to provide false data to apps (although it could only provide false data about I few things?)
I think it was created by a research group with a name like TA??A or something (? being characters I can't remember).
Anyway, I've been wanting to develop something similar to this for ages but now I can't find the relevant article despite much hunting.
Sorry about the vagueness; all I clearly remember is a screen-shot with a few rows of radio-buttons in classic android UI (grey and green) style.
Cheers.
Note: In my continuing hunt I found syvat's PDroid, which is very similar to what I mean (but not the actual article I'm hunting for).
