Hardware hacking is a fickle and strange beast. Because
of the iPod's popularity, even old Pocket PCs want to be iPod-like. Wait no longer and convert your lowly Pocket PC into a
heavenly iPod. To get you started, here is the materials list for the hack:To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

That's just not really particularly funny. Yeah I know people like to pick fun at the iPod, but even a moron can see that Pocket PCs aren't designed to be iPods and vice versa. When Pocket PCs have 30-60Gb of storage AND are 11mm thick (or less) and the iPod is still more popular, then things like this might be relevant. Oh well.

Great idea. Take something useful and turn it into a one-trick pony.

A pocket PC like an Ipod? Come on, give me a break. That's like comparing a corvette to a nizzan sentra.

Maybe it was a writing assignment with a 500-word minimum. Because, really, it would have been a lot more efficient to just say, "Santa brought me this crummy Pocket PC instead of the iPod I asked for, and now I am bitter."
