I guess HPC's are still in high demand.
yeah sure!

So what applications are you all running on your trusty HPCs?
i'll try to list the installed programs on my 728
in RAM:
.NET CF
(.net compact framework for ppc's
)
quick start menu
(a little similar to quick launch on a desktop - i love it
)
IrcCE
(for irc, msn, icq, yahoo..
)
LE
(language extender lite, for keyboard remapping - i live in Hungary and we have some extra characters
)
Netfront 3.0
(you know what it is
)
Total Commander CE 2.0
(best file explorer, can do a lot of stuff, ir-obex, lan, ftp, registry too
)
WarmReboot
(software for soft reset to protect the hardware button..
)
Wisbar
(skinning software
)
gsbatmon_tsy
(battery monitoring soft
)
Hpc netprofile
(different IP/etc profiles for different lan/wlan networks, etc
)
Destinator 3.0.25
(map software
)
CE.NET viewers
(
you should do a search here on what these are... file viewers from ce.net 4.x, they're great on hpc2000 too after a little hacking. erm, why are they in ram? i should move them to CF
)
+ drivers for wlan and bluetooth

(ok, i'll upgrade to TCPMP - best video player.. can play audio too
)
CEAgenda
(great psion like calendar
)
CEChat
(Nick's chat soft
)
ceFTP
(ftp client but i don't recommend it, too slow, Total Commander is much faster
)
CIC keyboard
(onscreen keyboard.. it's great for F keys, otherwise not of much use
)
Collins Cobuild
(dictionary
)
DeClock
(cool clock
)
DeveloperOne screensnap
(self explaining, for screen shots
)
easySMS
(i don't use it, mphone is much better
)
Ezviewer
(crappy image soft, can do some other things too but i didn't fiddle with it.. should delete it along with ceFTP
)
ftxBrowser
(uses IE's engine, gives some more options in menus + tabs
)
GSfinder
(good file manager i don't use it though
)
gsICQ
(icq, needs .net CF but i don't use it.. ircce is better for me
)
h-bomb
(html editor
)
ibm java IRC client
(great!
but needs a java vm
)
itaskmanager+netmanager
(monitors cpu, memory, processes, running tasks, networks
)

Macromedia Flashplayer 6.0
(ok, i couldn't hack it again, a little complicated, will do the reg stuff manually..
)
MDict
(good dict soft
)
MS Portait
(msn soft, i don't use it, ircce is better
)
MS TS Client
(a favourite again! great for remote desktop - will display the remote desktop in HVGA
)
MS TS Client update
(will display the remote desktop in VGA
)
Ministumbler
(wifi scanner

MobiPocket
(ebook reader
)
movianVPN

trying now 728's own built-in VPN.. someone just told me it can handle wlan and gprs too
)
mphone 2.6 pro version
(sms, phonebook, and much more...
)
nPOP
(good email program
)
PHM System tools
(similar to device manager.. doesn't know a lot but sometimes useful
)
PHM regeditor
(use it with Tascal regeditor, both are good
)
Pirazu
(just for fun
you can use it for navigation on the screen with the keyboard instead of the stylus
)
Plus!
(image viewer, pocket word count, pocket paint and some other stuff
)
pocket RAR
(rar, unrar

(quicklaunch, etc..
)
Ansyr Primer 3.1

)
QMail3
(great email soft
)

(file manager, i don't like it but i need it sometimes for reg importing
)

)
Textmaker
(best word processor
)
STDict
(dictionary - if someone wants to learn hungarian ..
)
Tascal regeditor

)
various crappy vnc's

)
wordbook
(dict
)
xacrett
(supports a lot of compression formats
)
XPCE
(can do screenshots in jpg and png!
)
+ some simple games..
(cantris, shanghai, sisjong, square, freecell, etc... the games from PS
+ some emulators for a little fun, but i'm not a real gamer
)
i think it's a list exhaustive enough..
oh and with these lot of stuff.. i haven't had to hard reset for a long time now
but apparently i'll have to now as the 728 started to shut off itself shortly after power on if i don't use it
(or there are no active tasks running..
). i already had a similar problem on the 720
(test machine
) so a hard reset should help

Sorry it came out totally wrong. Of course there's a MIPS Netfront 3, I tried it myself on my Casio PPC. I just thought that it cannot be hacked for HPC, since it requires a functional Aygshell in order to see the bottom menu and toolbar. So you say some Intermec users got it up and running? I even checked Wally's thread and he didn't list it...
Prices seem to be changing on these little buggers daily. I guess HPC's are still in high demand. 
check my page for them.
