ClearType Question
MS Reader will properly use ClearType on all Pocket PCs. It doesn't look as good on the Casio E-115 because of the LCD screen technology used by Casio.

To LCD or not to LCD, that is the question...
No, not really, it's just that I've seen Cleartype used on Pocket PC's in an "uncontrolled font" situation and the result was, well, ugly. ClearType only works with fonts that are designed for it - or should I saw certain fonts only work well with ClearType.... So I think MS might have purposefully not wanted every
