  1. Another thing that really surprises me is that the #GPS stuff is driverless on #PocketPC.

    I don't really understand why. Cameras, LAN adapters, non BT Keyboards, etc. all require drivers, but not the GPS stuff.

    GPS uses the #NMEA standard but i find it hard to believe that support for this was baked into #WinCE.

    Whatever the reason its quite convenient!

  6. Also Garmin & Tomtom have navigational software that works on #PocketPC.

    Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out how to configure these. Especially with newer maps which I have downloaded but can't figure out where to put them in the programs file structure & get them to integrate properly.

    There is a lot of older software that Is easy enough to find, installs & works great though.

    Pharos had the OSTIA software & Microsoft had Streets and Trips.

  7. Recently I have been toying around with a lot of the old #PocketPC #GPS stuff.

    There are a variety of different ways to connect to a GPS. Some connect via the Compact Flash slot, some are SDIO, some Bluetooth and others through a physical serial cable.

    You also have to decide on what GPS software that you want to use and then find compatible maps.

    I'm still figuring things out and it is quite finicky but when it works it is surprisingly decent!

  12. awesome i found an old #WindowsMobile ROM kitchen software on an old CD i brought over from my parents place

  13. mas.to/@Judeau/116460336169650

    Success!

    The old WinXP laptop was able to pull the driver off of the disk!

    Now to get them installed & working.

    The files look a bit strange & I can't make out exactly which .cab file that I need so I just went ahead & sent everything over to the #PocketPC using the magic of wireless #IrDA.

    Once I can verify that the files are good & working, I will put them up on #Archive.

    I don't believe the 1.4 #WindowsCE drivers exist anywhere online.

  15. Did you know there is a Bejeweled Valentine Edition? The red rectangles are replaced by hearts, and you can write a message that will appear after some moves.

    I found this version on the W2krepo and thought it's quite cute (if not with a grain of dorky)! :BlobHajMlem:

    (2005)

    Vienas iš stipriausių ir populiariausių to meto Windows Mobile telefonų-PDA hibridų. Tai buvo kišeninis kompiuteris su telefonu skirtas verslo vartotojams, kuriame dar integruotas GPS, Wi-Fi ir su QWERTY klaviatūra.

    3,0 colio TFT jutiklinis ekranas (65K spalvų), Intel PXA270 procesorius, 64MB RAM + 128MB ROM, atmintis plečiama miniSD, 1,3MP kamera su video įrašymu, Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition, GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100 (3G), Wi-Fi 802.11b, Bluetooth 2.0, integruotas GPS, infraraudonieji spinduliai, 1200–1500 mAh nuimama Li-Ion baterija (iki 4–5 val. pokalbių, ~150–200 val. budėjimo), dydis 119×71×21 mm, svoris 190 g.

  25. Installing programs on Windows Mobile 2003 definitely has its quirks. It installs to the device's storage (RAM) which is only about 10 MB of its 32 MB on my low-end HP rz1710. Adjusting it means less RAM for programs. And once it's done installing, it removes the .CAB file without asking. This makes it so you pretty much need a third-party program to change its install location to SD card and stop removing .CABs haha :BlobhajSadReach:

  31. Fujitsu Siemens T810
    (2006)

    Vienas iš retesnių, bet labai rimtų verslo telefonų PDA hibridų su Windows Mobile 5.0, turintis pilną QWERTY klaviatūrą, jutiklinį ekraną ir stiprų procesorių – tuo metu vienas pajėgiausių Windows Mobile modelių Europoje.

    2,4 colio TFT jutiklinis ekranas, Intel PXA272 procesorius (416 MHz), 64 MB RAM ir 128 MB ROM, plečiama miniSD/microSD kortele, 1,3 MP kamera su video įrašymu, Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition, GSM + UMTS (3G) ryšys, Wi-Fi 802.11b, Bluetooth 2.0, infraraudonieji spinduliai, 1500 mAh išimama baterija, dydis 120 × 60 × 21 mm, svoris apie 190 g.

    Šis modelis buvo vienas pirmųjų, turėjusių rimtą integruotą GPS anteną ir paskutinis stiprus Fujitsu Siemens bandymas mobiliųjų telefonų rinkoje prieš parduodant padalinį Acer už ~80 mln. eurų (įskaitant patentus, prekės ženklą ir gamybos teises).

    Most of the articles that I have come across mention the following programs:

    SynCE – Allows Linux to communicate with #WindowsMobile and #WindowsCE devices.

    Multisync – Manages the synchronization of PIM data like calendars, address, etc. and lets you decide what to sync.

    Evolution – Microsoft Outlook compatible program.

    There are some other programs that I have seen mentioned but I believe they are for older methods.

    This might actually be possible! 👍

  37. Does anyone know how to get a #PocketPC #PDA to mount and sync with #Linux?

    Any information that I find is like 15 - 20 years old. It clearly used to be possible.

    Simply plugging it in and lsusb in the terminal gives some pleasantly unexpected results even though it's not mounted or accessible for file transfers.

  38. HTC HD2
    (2009)

    Kodinis pavadinimas Leo tapo legendiniu Windows Mobile telefonu, dažnai vadinamas nemirtingu. Entuziastai pavertė jį universaliausiu telefonu istorijoje.

    4,3 colio TFT jutiklinis ekranas, Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 procesorius, 448 MB RAM, 512 MB vidinės atminties (plečiama microSD iki 32 GB), 5 MP kamera su LED blykste, Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional su HTC Sense, GSM/HSPA, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, FM radijas, metalinis korpusas, 1230 mAh Li-Ion baterija (iki 6,5 val. pokalbių, 490 val. budėjimo), dydis 120,5 x 67 x 11 mm, svoris 157 g.

    Kai Microsoft ir HTC nutraukė palaikymą, telefonas turėjo mirti, bet nutiko priešingai - programuotojų bendruomenė (ypač XDA Developers) pamilo šį telefoną. Windows Phone 7, Linux, Windows 95 ar 98, jokių probelmų, net ir šiandien, praėjus virš 15 metų, kažkas bando į jį įdiegti naujausią Android versiją.

  39. I had been looking for some time for a good PDF reader for my #PocketPC.

    I found countless apps archived across websites and all of them gave terrible results. For some reason Adobe Reader version 1 and 2 don't seem to be archived anywhere.

    Fortunately, the Wayback Machine allowed me to search their website from 2006 and grab these programs.

    As old as they are they still work surprisingly well!

    The 3x HQRP battery is the only expanded battery currently manufactured & comes in a strange box labeling it for a video camera.

    Regardless, it fits & powers the #PocketPC perfectly! It also laughably increases the size of the #PDA.

    Unfortunately, beyond the factory charge, it will not charge. I tried multiple docks, cords & devices. Nothing will charge it. A replacement yielded the same results.

    Has anyone managed to get this battery to charge?

    Anyone have any luck with the big HQRP Batteries for the Axim x50/x51 variants #PocketPC?

    Cameron Sino makes some excellent aftermarket batteries for these devices. Occasionally they fit a bit snug but they are a perfect drop in replacement for the original Dell 1100mAh batteries.

    However, I really wanted a bigger battery & since the 2200mAh battery is no longer made, I picked up the thicc & chonky HQRP 3400mAh battery. Unfortunately there are issues… …

  42. Has anyone tried using a Windows Mobile 6 device (or older) as a daily driver in 2025? Like, I doubt you could use a WM phone in the current year due to 3G being so old (if you do, please tell about it!!), but like, how is it as a productivity machine/PDA?

    It's just crazy for me how obsessed Zuckerberg has become.

    Many companies have obsessed about technologies in the past.

    #Microsoft was obsessed with touchscreen-friendly #UIs when #Windows8 came out as well as the #WindowsMobile operating system. They were able to realise that people didn't like it, so they moved on. Where #Nokia got obsessed with the #WindowsMobile idea and never moved to #Android, resulting in their death.

    #Blackberry was the first company to release a "smartphone" at that time. They knew people wanted to email and communicate more efficiently on their phones, and phones were no longer just for calling. So they released the full qwerty-keyboard. But they got stuck with it and didn't realise the strengths and flexibility of touchscreen-keyboards and the screen real estate that you lose with hardware keyboards. So their phones died out.
