Heh I have SNES and GBA emulators too, but they run slower Nebhead - 23/04/2004 08:16:44 PM

Do you know if it is possible to upgrade OS versions?
It is... sort of. You won't really need to, unless you wanna wipe the thing and install a Unix variation.

Do you have Pocket Outlook? Or what program do you use for the organisation aspects?
PPC comes with a calendar, an address book, and an outlook express email program. It also comes with a CD with Outlook and ActiveSync for the PC. All the PPC function with sync to Outlook on your PC

I can see how it would be very useful when you have Bluetooth enabled devices. I don't have any though, and not likely too for a time at least. Therefore I am struggling to justify the extra cost especially when I could get it via an expansion later, though then I would possibly lose some memory expansion.
Indeed. If you don't have BT enabled devices at the moment, BT probably won't be all that useful. It's fun to have though

Yeah, WiFi is a must for me really. It does bump the price but not too badly. Most have it included now.

I meant overall as opposed to a specific brand. I have been thinking about a Dell Axim though. I rate Dell highly, they have had good reviews, and they are significantly cheaper than comparable products. I have heard very good things about HP ones but they are a fair bit more than the Dell.
The Dell Axim is actually a very, very good buy. Make sure you get one with SD/MMC memory card though; most come with both that and CompactFlash. SD/MMC is one of the smallest memory cards available, and is widely becoming the standard. Most digital cameras now use it, and it's really quite nice to take a photo and then immediately view it postcard size on the PPC screen (I use BT to transfer mine across, but a MMC card works just as well )

I do know Java very well but I could find a PocketPC version of the SDK or Runtime Environment. Do you have one installed? Java is ideal for mobile devices.
Yes, there are SDK's for the PDA environment, but you'd need to find one tailored to the OS and Chipbuild of your specific PDA. They're becoming more generic now though, so it'll be easy to find.

Another question for you - how long does your battery last do you think?
A fair deal... if I fully charge it, and just leave it off, it'll take about 8 weeks to decharge, maybe more. If I'm using it, I can get about 10 hours (I think) constant use before it needs to charge again. I haven't really tested this out though.
