Windows CE based PDA phones..

A co-worker and I had highly-functional PDA cell phones that ran Palm OS. The executives of the company all had Windows CE based PDA phones.

We both took turns crashing their CE phones (during meetings) by sending them contact info via RF. They didn't even have to press a button - we would just 'point and shoot'. Their phones would display an error message, then reboot when they tapped Ok. After a while, they learned not to place their phones on the conference table. Too bad they had to learn the hard way that buying Microsoft isn't always the best solution. In my experience, it seldom is.

Your mileage may vary.
