Yeah... Bloodline and I both run UAE on our iPaq 4150 handhelds.  It works amazingly well.  There's still some bugs, for sure.  (no keyboard support, very poor sound, etc) but it's plenty good enough to run most AmigaDOS 1.3 style things, along with some small games.  A favorite of mine is Nuclear War.  :-)  Huge nostalgic portable fun on a very nice small screen.  

DPaint actually works fine, as well.  You can't underestimate how cool it is to have a portable sketchpad with the power and ease of DPaint!  But it's a little difficult for me to use it with the way the mouse buttons were set up on the Amiga.  (I'm left handed so I hold the iPaq in my right hand and draw with my left...  The problem is, UAE runs a screen rotation that you can only set as right-handed, so the mouse buttons are on the left side -- difficult to hold down while I'm drawing with my left hand!)  I'm hoping they address this in the next version, as well.


Aye!!! I run DPaint IV AGA on my iPAQ, I like to make little Anmiations on the Tube on the way home, it's great fun!
