Asus P525w
(2006)

A powerful Taiwanese pocket computer designed for professionals who refused to compromise between a traditional phone keypad and PDA capabilities. Running on Windows Mobile, it stood out as a direct competitor to Nokia's Communicators and Sony Ericsson's P-series.

Intel XScale PXA270 416 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 128 MB ROM, miniSD slot, 2.6-inch resistive TFT touchscreen, 240x320 resolution, 2 MP autofocus camera with flash, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, 1300 mAh battery, dimensions 116.8x59x19mm, weight 159 g.

The P525w featured a premium brushed aluminum front cover that gave it a highly professional look. Pre-loaded with updated firmware optimizing Wi-Fi connectivity and out-of-the-box VoIP integration for corporate networks. Its biggest strength was versatility: you could easily dial numbers with one hand on the physical keys while on the move, or pull out the stylus to edit spreadsheets in office apps.

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!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
(2008)

Pirmasis bendrovės bandymas užkariauti rinką su Xperia ženklu. Tai buvo prabangus, plieninis įrenginys, sukurtas kovai su HTC ir iPhone.

Qualcomm MSM7200 528 MHz procesorius, 256MB RAM, 512MB vidinė atmintis, MicroSD lizdas, 3,0 colių TFT ekranas, 480x800 raiška, ištraukiama lenkta QWERTY klaviatūra, 3,15 MP kamera su AF, 1500 mAh baterija, matmenys 110x53x16.7mm, svoris 145 g.

Xperia X1 išsiskyrė Arc slider mechanizmu, kuris pakreipdavo ekraną kampu. Windows Mobile sistemą gamintojas papildė X-Panels sąsaja. Korpusas iš šlifuoto plieno suteikė išskirtinį solidumo jausmą, o optinis valdiklis leido patogiai naršyti meniu. Tai vienas estetiškiausių tos eros verslo telefonų, tapęs Xperia serijos pamatu.

Sonic the Hedgehog fans should love this. Besides, this game was for Windows CE. Registration: first, run the licensed executable file, enter any code. The game will report it as invalid, but that's not important. What matters is that a record of the key will be created in the system. Close everything. Run the unlicensed executable file, and if you've done everything correctly, the game will be registered.

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.

An interesting game, somewhat reminiscent of a game whose name I forgot, for Sega Mega Drive.
