Jornada 690 linking question.

Hey Yall, First post on the forms, so anyways i want to get a hp jornada 690 handheld pc from eBy because i really want one so bad but here's the problem, i want to link it up to the computer but i don't know where is the software to link it up to the computer because i want to get games on it!

You need a Windows 95 through Windows XP PC/VM and ActiveSync 3.8, which is obtainable on this site.

Thank you, i have a windows 98 computer so will that work perfectly?

Yes it will!

Thanks for the answer!

Also will this work with all handheld PC's running windows ce?

Apart from CE 1.0x, which requires H/PC Explorer.

Thank you! I was going to buy one of the hp Jordana's and i thought hey how about i asked on this forum so thank you all!

Also will activesync 3.8 work with the jornada 680?

ActiveSync 3.8 will work with any device running Windows CE 2.0 through Windows CE.net 4.2, including the 680.

Thanks!

If your goal is mainly just installing software you can also forego ActiveSync altogether and just run the CAB files directly on the device from memory or flash, and mark them read-only if you don't want them to automatically remove themselves after installation. For those that come bundled in monolithic installers, you can usually pull out the individual CABs with Universal Extractor and throw those on flash. Might be the more convenient option especially if you end up getting a 690 without the sync cable or cradle, sometimes those can be a bit expensive.

Anyways what are the best programs for the hp jornada?
