Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Tornado Hybrid

CE OS 5.2.19202.3.0.0 (SKToolsLite readings)

I am glad to be able to find the time to assemble and cook this ROM. A "Very Special Thank You" to GnatGoSplat for providing the base ROM, assistance and encouragement. A "BIG Thank You" too to RickWyatt for helping me out with my first ROM release sometime back. Thank you to everybody else who are willing and brave enough to flash this ROM to your device. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as I enjoyed cooking it.

As I am quite busy, support from me will be intermittent and difficult to come by. I hope experienced forum members and cookers can give a helping hand. Please use KarHoe's (great work man!) fantastic Guide to flash the ROM. (Best result when "format BINFS" is done.)

The significant feature of this release is the XIP 20202 from Vox. Please see the benchmark data below for comparison.

Base ROM:	GnatGoSplat's WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval

(Sorry for the delay to upload this file. However, as a bonus I have included the ROM with CyberonVoiceDial but its softkey conflicts with CommManager/VoiceNotes. Rename the file that you want to flash to nk.nbf.)
