Welcome to my HomePage! You are probably wondering why Ojster.com? Ojster is my nickname and it is a kind of short version of my surname ( in a dialect - that's the reason for letter j ) - they called me by this name at collage and it is pronounced same as Oyster. What can you find on these pages? It's about what I like and do in my free time. You can find eBook commentaries and links to eBook related sites (especially for .lit formatted eBooks), Dashboard skins, images for Today's The Day program and PocketPC related links. I have my own Photo Gallery with mostly nature photos, but it's not just nature - check it out - it will be time well spent! I also have my own discussion board where you can find/post discount codes, eBook commentaries, comments and suggestions concerning my photography and skin creations. Don't forget to bookmark now! You can also reach my page via http://www.PocketPCstuff.com. Currently both URL's bring you to the same page.

Never again a HP! It's been 30 days since I brought my iPAQ to service and I still haven't got a new/repaired unit. If this is normal I do not know what isn't - you buy a device like a PDA because you want to have data with you all the time and then you are left without it for 30 days & more because they are not capable to repair/replace it within one month?

I am still waiting for my replacement iPAQ H5550 to arrive. I brought it to service on 22nd of November and I have not yet got the replacement unit. I guess if I'd live in US I would already have the replacement unit, but here something like this is actually normal. So when I see a next upgrade online I will think twice before installing it ;) - if this isn't crazy I don't know what is - that person who decided to remove the "parrot mode" from iPAQ was not thinking straight.

I am now waiting to get a replacement unit from HP. I find this to be strange since there was nothing wrong with the iPAQ hardware - it simply did not finish updating - this means only ROM would have to be uploaded manually. With my previous iPAQ I did this myself with the help of that "parrot mode" and a new ROM was uploaded in a matter of minutes so I see no logic in what HP is doing.
Well I can be glad they will send me a new unit because one pixel was dead on mine (hopefully it won't be worse on this unit), but what happens if I want to update my iPAQ when warranty is over? If they can not do anything else than replace the whole unit, this would mean I would actually have to pay for a replacement? This is crazy - I think it sounds sober if I say I will not update it after my warranty period is over. And this brings out the question why do we have Flash ROM? I have no idea why they removed that "parrot mode" and why they are not able to simply upload ROM file and get it done witnih a day.

Any ideas? Comments? You know of a solution?
