POCKET PC SUMMIT - We Must Go Forward In A Spirit Of Faith And Hope And Charity

We would like to extend our soulful condolences to the families who lost loved ones and friends this past week, the courageous people of the proud state of New York, and the heroes that continue the search for the lost. We perceive that September 11, 2001 will live on as one of the most tragic days in United States history. These special, once-in-a-lifetime moments are times of courage, of pride, and of opportunity to learn and to come together, and this is a time for giving thanks for the blessings of citizenship in this great nation of ours, The United States of America!

Although, freedom is not just for Americans and America. As citizens of freedom from all over the world, we must go forward in a spirit of faith and hope and charity against the faceless cowards of terrorism. The Pocket PC Summit will continue as planned October 10 through October 12 in Santa Monica, California at the elegant Fairmont Miramar Hotel overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Please join us for a celebration of emerging technology, imagination and humanity at the first Pocket PC Summit!
