How is that possible?
Have you ever purchased software for your iPaq?
Well, i was a little late in arriving at the 720
(2006
), and by then PuTTY had been hacked to work, Geared2003 had packaged up TCPMP as HPC Media Player, and i had a few other free apps running on it
(e.g Portrait for MSN
). I was using the netfront trial for a while, but gave up the idea of Web Browsing on the machine entirely. Maybe a 728 would be better for this, i don't know. But if opera could run at the same time as TCPMP without running out of memory, that would be most cool.
As to the iPaq i've only had it a couple of months, and i mostly only use SJPhone and TCPMP on it.
Soz, cmonex you are absoultely right about the killer apps - should have looked at RTFM's screenshots
first. Don't know if tomtom is CE3 or only 4.2, but if it runs, it runs, and that's great news. I did think there might be a way, as i read somewhere that thumb is the simpler arm instructions chopped into 16bits to improve code density - my thoughts were about exception handlers for the "to thumb" instruction invoking some kind of emulation, but i had no idea an app existed to thunk it to 32bit SA code prior to execution
But suffice it to say Redgear has a willing customer here...If the CE.net compatibility works out fine i'd probably flash my mp900c to HPC2000
(i don't think i own a single piece of hardware which needs 4.2 - ok Wireless cards will need their own config tool, but who cares!
).
Actually, i don't suppose you could arrange something to make 2000/CE.net custom roms with Redgear integrated could you cmonex? I wouldn't mind keeping my key file
(if that is how it is to work
) on the Internal Storage drive.
Oh could one of you lucky beta testers give CE Mame a go? Last time i tried it the screen was all screwed up on mp900c
(oh thats another point - if an app is incompatible with GAPI maybe an option to disable it for that one app would be good
).
I would happily pay 25GBP for two licenses
(one for the 720, one for the mp900c
), maybe a bit more if some of the advanced features i was speculating on get implemented
