Yes - have just got it working using the TS client. You are quite right -
all the scrolling is a real pain -I wish there was a way to flip the Pocket
PC into landscape mode i.e. rotate the display by 90 degrees !

As you say - I think I am only ever likely to use it in an emergency, when
no internet-connected laptop or desktop is close to hand, which is fairly
rare these days unless I am in the back of beyond somewhere in Wales without
a laptop(assuming I can get a signal on the mobile 'phone). Still it's nice
to know that it works.
