pocket pc

SOSAGES · 30-03-2004, 14:03

Hi all,

hoping someone can help me with a couple of questions,

Does anyone know if its possible to install applications on to a pocket pc instead of using active synch, maybe you can go on to the web and d/l an app like you would do on a normal pc .. or maybe there are other ways.

Also does anyone know if u can get shockwave player for pocket pc or if not pocket pc then CE, smart phones, PDA's and windows embeded ? or if their are plans for it to be released on the pocket pc format?

Thanks if anyone can help.

I've installed an app from a SD card before onto an IPAQ
Yes Flash is available for Pocket PC as many apps use it - I especially like http://www.gigabytesol.com/anitoday.htm which rocks (and I used to work with the author!)

Ditto, I have installed from an SD card before, AFAIK using active synch converts any apps to the correct format for your device in question so why not use it ( might not be 100% on that point )

A good place for a lot of apps and advice is MoDaCo take a look for yourself, well worth it IMHO

hope this helps

AFAIK the answer is no, at least for the motorola mpx200, maybe wrong on this point but reading the forum posts on MoDaCo it is not available. If you know or find out different please let me know, thanks

Can you update the version of IE on PPC 2003 so that I can save images from web pages?
