Microsoft's Live Search is now available for Mobile 6. You can find stuff more easily and even locate yourself easily. Lots of reasons why this is good for you. Download link for Live Search for Windows Mobile: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0CADB896-8017-4E0F-8A40-16AE66BD185E&displaylang=en Requirements: Supported Operating Systems: Windows Mobile 6; Windows Mobile 6 Classic; Windows Mobile 6 Professional; Windows Mobile 6 Standard; Windows Mobile 6.1 Installation: Download the CAB file and place it in the HTC-8900MyDocuments.

What I think should happen next? 1. Each individual uploads the savings he /she made to a national database and this will help in accurately accessing carbon-di-oxide emissions. 2. Create a little receptacle at the roof of your car into which the solar active side of the Blue Earth can slip into. When you open the door arrang
