Hi Gregor,

Your English is just fine!

Yes the Verituner pocket has some limitations in the number of partials it
uses due to processor speed. Whether the limitations are significant or not
is not something I can comment on. Perhaps one of the Verituner users can
tell us?

It may be a good idea to investigate Reyburn Cybertuner and Tunelab Pro for
pocket PC. As they rely on a single partial while in "tune mode" they do
not have the limitations of the Verituner.

I'm still "stuck" on using a full size laptop for my tuning software. It
saves me hours of office time to do my reports right in the client's home
while sitting in front of their piano--and with the advent of wifi about
half the time I can email the report before I leave the client's home.
