following on from my Bumblebee for iPAQ (or what the...) I've just read on Pocket PC Thoughts about a radical new radio controller (for controlling radio controlled models etc) and it runs on windows CE!

Sounds like something else for my Christmas wish list

Dual Internal Processors
The 14MZ takes advantage of two separate internal processors for maximum efficiency and reliability. A custom Futaba processor expertly directs all functions dedicated to flight control. Input for general operating tasks — such as set-up and programming — is processed by Windows CE.

Real-time Response
Double the resolution of PCM 1024, the 14MZ's breakthrough PCM G3 2048 enables servos to pick up even the slightest stick movements. It's enhanced by a frame rate that's 40% faster than Futaba's 9Z — much more data transmits in a much shorter time. The result? Real-Time Response…response so good, it feels like it's happening in real time!

Full-colour Touch Screen
HVGA screen features crystal-clear 640x240 pixel resolution.

Hmmm . . . nice one, can even fly a miniature-sized-model cessna plane! I just wonder how that thing costs

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure I wouldn't trust a Windows powered controller for a radio controlled plane or helicopter.

What happens when the controller crashes? Bye bye to ££££ worth of toy!!
