Hi Paul,

Yes that was the story originally--but processors have
become much much faster. When Dave was first
developing the Verituner processor speeds were 100
megahertz--not fast enough to "do the deed" in "real
time".

The verituner is indeed available for the pocket
pc--but not til August 16th. It will be limited by the
processor speed to 2 partials instead of 8 if your
pocket pc is "slow".

If on the other hand you have a 624 megahertz unit it
may do 6 partials--and of course as processors get
faster--it will do them all.

I asked him about porting to windows xp and he said if
there was enough interest he would do so. This would
get around the processor limitation and it would do
all the partials.
