I was excited to show off my Compaq iPAQ H3800 Pocket PC browsing some nifty sites, but it seems only Blue Dwarf is loading now.
The Old Net and Frogfind are having issues on my side, and Goto95 no longer exists. RetroReddit is probably being scraped by AI, too… T_T
(Sorry for the crusty screen, wiped it off after and the pictures turned dark and Device Center started acting up lol)
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! 👍 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. 😂
@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.
