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 
After screenshotting, archiving & keeping metadata on my curated Palm OS apps project, I'm giving #WindowsMobile #PocketPC some love with its first 10 games I added on my list (not all of them shown in the screenshots).

@jacenboy Woah, Nice! π There is nothing financially irresponsible about getting a #PocketPC
They are nowhere near irrelevant. They can last for days with a new battery, have TONS of apps and games and most importantly are private unlike out cellphones these days.
I really like the Axim X30. The rocker switch on the side makes it amazing for reading and scrolling through documents. It's a shame that most #PDAs eventually dropped this feature.
An iPAQ image viewer. The original doesn't work on other devices, but this is a fixed build.

I have had the #DungeonCrawler 'The Quest' on my steam wish list for years. I don't know why, I've just never got around to purchasing it.
I didn't realize that this game started life on the #PocketPC. It is now running on my #WindowsCE #SmartBook at a glorious one frame a second.
While this game looks wonderful, this device is woeful. π
@james That's interesting and thanks for the link. I just was more curious than anything.
I'm definitely going to keep this as a Windows CE device. I'm a huge fan of #PocketPC PDAs and #WindowsCE devices.
However, it's always neat to see what other OS's people are able to successfully boot on devices.
I have been looking for a Sylvania #SmartBook for some time & finally got one!
These are such interesting devices. One part 90's H/PC, one part 2000's #PocketPC & thrown into a #NetBook form factor.
It's a strange hybrid device of form and function.
I can't wait to tinker around with this. Since it runs on ARM and #WindowsCE I have heard there are ways to load pocket PC programs on it, though they may be unoptimized.
I didnβt want to go this route for various reasons but it looks like a #VirtualMachine is the only option left for me. It should allow me to manage my #PocketPC #PDA without the need to reboot or switch PCs.
I have never ran a #VM before so it will be a learning process.
What are the recommended vms for running Windows XP on #Linux with USB passthrough?
I hear a lot about VirtualBox. Any others?
