| 180mm width, maybe okay for a tiny girl to touchtype on, but a little narrow for a fat fingered boy like me I think. The MP900 is the perfect size for real data entry via a keyboard, but certainly not pocketable like the GPD.
To bad the Atom isn't an ARM compatible processor...it would be fun to flash a CE image to the device...talk about the best pseudo HPC in the world with those hardware specs... |

| I received my GPD Pocket a few days ago. So far it seems like a great device. However, because of my bad luck, it seems that I got a defective unit. The "t" key is extra sensitive, probably a bad connection on the matrix keyboard. Check the video: https://youtu.be/zlEki6HI7xA. For whoever has a GPD Pocket also, are you having similar problems with your unit? Edited by ntware 2017-07-29 12:44 AM

| Man, sorry to hear about that.

Perhaps post there--that seems to be an active forum and it may have users that can confirm your issue.

| There is always x86 Windows CE. CE 3.0 through 7.0 should work. (8.0 sucks)
You can also use CE in a VM like VMWare or VirtualBox if you want.
The big problem is booting CE natively because the GPD devices use a UEFI BIOS. There is also the issue of drivers. It still won't be instant on either.

I do not think that there is anything preventing Windows CE in VM being instant-on because this functionality is under pure control of host OS (unlest host OS does not implement it without significant power loss ). You can suspend/hibernate with any virtualized OS, you can even save VM state in most virtualizing software to disc. |

| Okies boys and girls, Finally found one of the Fujitsu Loox phone with full Windows 7 installed. Was on eBay on a Saturday night/Sunday ending sale. Beginning bid was $249.99. bid on it twice, nobody else bid.
So I get it next Tuesday. once I get it out of the box I'll take some pics and run a few programs on it and let you know how it goes.
So now time to admit my compulsion "Hi, My name is Scott, I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Windows CE handheld Device Disorder!"' |

Sorry for my late reply (been very busy at work the past half year or so...) and that you got one with issue.
My Pocket is perfect. Great little mini-laptop.
Still works great after 8 months...
Hope you got yours taken care of.
Mark

I had one of these when first released some years ago.
Intriguing concept, but poorly executed. Only kept it a few weeks.....
Maybe you'll have better luck...
