Does this produce a different device id for each deveice or for each device
type?

This should provide a unique device ID for all PPC 2002 devices and up.

I have reported a bug some time ago that in some models of IPAQs this API

Mohammad or Chris, when i use this code it says that "Marshal" and

What do i have to import to get them?
