Тайна HP iPaq HX4700. Что скрывал в себе легендарный КПК?

Пожалуй, iPaq HX4700 можно считать самым известным и легендарным КПК от компании HP. О его крутом VGA-дисплее слагали легенды, а оптический тачпад, выполняющий роль "мышки", вообще казался чем-то инопланетным в мире портативных компьютеров. Не подводил 4700'ый и в плане производительности: мощнейший ARM-процессор от Intel, целых 64 мегабайта оперативной памяти и дискретный GPU от компании ATi - это было очень круто по меркам устройства, которое помещалось в карман! Сегодня я хотел бы рассказать про его тайну, о которой знают немногие...

Question for the retrocomputing community. If I buy an ipaq now, is there a way to sync it with *nix systems or at least make it sync with a VM on KVM/Qemu?

Thanks in advance.

It wasn't #Unix, and it was in the year 2001. But I vividly remember running #Linux on a #Compaq #iPaq (Model H3600) my former employer gifted to me when I completed my training.
I was already done with #Windows at that time, so I ditched #Microsoft #PocketPC in favor of Linux. The distribution was called Lisa, IIRC. I had to invest into a sleeve and a 128MB Compact Flash card to enable Installation of a full LAMP-stack... had to compile it on the device...

If you're ever in a position where you need to prove that you are Alpha Geek among the pack, running Unix on a 1998 palmtop will almost certainly do it.

Some basic but interesting differences between #PocketPC #WindowsMobile devices.

This shows how the #Dell Axim has different image icons compared to the #iPaq.

More info is in the image description of each one.

@billgoats i have another one. In #soaring (flying planes without engines) we long used #ipaq s for navigation (screen sunlight readable), attached to the windshields. One pilot came to me and told me that his IPAQ would stall when the course of the plane was between 270 and 300 degrees. Somewhat perplexed I went looking and found out that the IRDA port in IPAQs had a bug, that would cause 100% cpu if the sun shone into the IRDA port. Firmware update fixed that.

Found newer Windows Mobile 6.5.3 images for HP iPAQ 214 than what was installed on my device, so decided to give an update a try🤞🏻. Gosh, the ere are even some #Linux images for it - maybe I’ll try that someday as well 🙌🏻

You’ll find them here if you’re interested:
