Thanks a bunch

Flash went without a hitch. Did not even have to go in bootloader mode.

The grand plan is to make some cab files full of registry entries and put 2MB worth of apps in the extended rom that will run directly from there. Similiar to what T-Mobile is already doing with their IM clients and other misc applications. I believe Visual Studio 2005 can make cab files with registry entries for mobile devices. I'll have to play with that a bit.

Now if I can only figure out the color palette for the splash screen. Made a custom splash screen, shifted the colors, saved as 16 bit, and still got crappy colors when viewing from a soft reset. Read the thread related to splash screen colors, but I must be missing something.
