HP iPaq 4150

[Slash]

I run ScummVM on my HP4150... works great. The interface is well suited to the touch screen. Great stuff.

I think it can run WindowsCE stuff... not too sure though.

PocketPCs with Xscale can run programs compiled for winCE on StrongARM( also known on old webbpages as Ipaq-version:-)).
If there isn´t any trouble with CE/ppc libraries, that is.

Got a viewsonic v35 myself it´s basically a mp3-player, the letter recognizer sucked, it´s too slow to play videos, too lowres and smallscreen to display pics and it´s only SD memory cards no SDIO.
So it´s mp3-player and chesscomputer(installed GNUchess) for now. Some day  it will maybe also become an ebook.

Even when I installed Calligrapher(new hwr-recognition) I found the OS got in the way of actually writing notes on it.

I hate that "Insert date"-menu that pops-up when holding down the pen. Anybody know a hack to disable it? So I could mark text like one the newton or with a realworld markerpen?

The HP iPAQ 4150 is a work of art!

I recommend it to any one. ScummVM is brilliant, it plays Quake great too! Movies, Mp3's... I can cary pictures, Documents and spreadsheets! The battery lasts all day, the screen is bright and crystal clear!

That is the best £320 (with a 512Meg SDIO memory card) I have spent since my A1200!

I can't wait to get programming the thing!

How do you like the handwriting recognition?

Amazingly It is able to recognise my handwriting better than I can!

I'll scribble down a few notes (when I'm out inspecting)... then pop the unit back into my pocket, by the time I get back to the office, I read the notes and I can't really tell what I have writen (I had this problem with my old pen-&-paper note pad), Click recognise, and it turns it in to type! At worst it missrecognises maybe 3 letters!
