So I gots a new battery for my HP Jornada 540 Pocket PC. It's been out of commish for a few years now, and I'm glad to have it functioning again!
The coolest thing about a Pocket PC (aside from tunez if you have enough storage space) is eBooks. You have yourself a backlit library in your pocket whenever you've got a few extra minutes on your hands.
Solatare/card-games for any touch-screen system is also an interesting experience, since you are litterally "moving" these little digital cards from place to place. It's so dead simple, even my grandfather enjoys it. :)
Now it's got me wondering; how simple would it be to wifi enable an old PocketPC like this? I've seen some CompactFlash Wifi cards, but I can't find any reviews for them online: maybe they are cheesy to use and/or set up *shrug*
A GPS attachment would also be nutritional.
So what do you all do with one of the few cultural advancements since the eighties? :)
Posted by jesse at May 9, 2004 09:38 PMI don't know about wifi on the older PocketPCs, but I've seen some of the newer ones (Dell's, etc.) with wifi and they're pretty darn slick. I have a Sony Clie running PalmOS myself which is pretty good, but I sure wouldn't mind a wifi-enabled PocketPC... *drool*
