"making piracy impossible" Phrase removal
I have removed the phrase "Windows Mobile does not have a serial key anti-piracy system and all phones that are Windows Mobile-based work using the same operating system, thus making piracy impossible." First of all, this does not make sense: If there is no serial key, then it is a logical conclusion that piracy would be easier, not harder. Second, claims that "piracy is impossible" are pretty extra-ordinary, therefore requiring extra-ordinary sources, as this goes against the "security industry" paradigm that no system is 100% immune from piracy. In addition to that, absolute words like "impossible" should usually be avoided. --SF007 (talk) 11:23, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

"xda" -- what does it mean?

See http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/XDA - it means "Phones and PDAs" (PDA stands for Personoal Digital Assistants). --Worstbull (talk) 01:54, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Sabotage
Just undid some sabotage recently done by some random imbecile. Hope I was able to restore it to its former glory. Vola31 (talk) 08:52, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

No reference to the Magic Mask?
Considering that software coincides with the Xplosive growth seen at XDA (2016), I'd have expected to see a mention of it some place here.

Nor any mentions of the fantastic scheme built in Media Pennsylvania, right off the Media bypass 😂 epic. With shell companies like Fast Boot Mobile among many multi million dollar media advertising companies.... I really wish I'd have found reference to that.... 2600:100F:B057:2F09:77B:FFBD:55A4:670B (talk) 09:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Text copied from O2 XDA page
The text in the first paragraph should not say "The name of XDA Developers is derived from it", as this is the XDA developers page. This sentence should be changed to something along the lines of "XDA Developers is derived from the name of the O2 XDA", including a link to its wiki page. 2607:FEA8:95E0:1700:E073:3034:E07C:9201 (talk) 05:18, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
