Normally I am not a #windowsce #pda collector, but for 10€ I had to get this aa driven grayscale Ericsson MC16

I can recommend viewing entire presentation at https://slideplayer.com/slide/7269008/, where you can see also routing on #PDA like #PalmOS #WindowsCE or #PocketPC , quite nostalgic

The developer provides the opportunity to get acquainted with his works. The tank simulator requires registration. We bring him our deep gratitude.

So the source code is now available. This game was ported for #PalmOS #WindowsCE #WindowsSmartphone #WindowsMobile #Gizmondo #Zodiac #SymbianS60v3 #SymbiabUIQ there is even a #JAVA version.)) And only #NGage is left without it. Windows Smartphone owners say that it works quite well, these devices have a 176x220 display and a very weak processor)) We are ready to talk about another port for N-GAGE. :fatpikachu:

Kicker. Looks like it's for WinCE. Controls, action menus are called only by physical buttons.

Some basic but interesting differences between #PocketPC #WindowsMobile devices.

This shows how the #Dell Axim has different image icons compared to the #iPaq.

More info is in the image description of each one.

#PDA #WindowsCE #RetroComputing #Handheld #Handhelds

The Dell Axim X50V is running Windows Mobile 4 also known as 2003 Second Edition.

The VGA screen is beautiful but unfortunately the image icons don't really help to tell the user what the file is without having them named the way that I do.

Jpeg appears to show an Amiga boing ball and PNG, BMP and Gif are all represented by the same icon of colored shapes.

The Dell Axim X51V is running Windows Mobile 5. A big OS upgrade over WM 4.0.

The VGA screen is once again beautiful but unfortunately not much has changed.

It appears the Amiga boing ball has been replaced with someone surfing or perhaps a sail boat but for images other than jpeg, they are all represented by the same icon of shapes.

The iPaq HX2795b is similar to the Axim X51V in that they both run Windows Mobile 5.0. The iPaq does not have a VGA screen however.

Looking at the image icons we can see a huge improvement over the Dell Axim.

Every image type is represented by a uniquely descriptive icon. BMP = Blue, GIF = Green, PNG = Purple and JPEG = Red.

I wish the Axim had these icons...

Last but not least is the iPaq 210. This one is running Windows Mobile 6.0 and has a beautiful VGA screen.

It also retains the icons of the previous iPaq.

Every image type is represented by a uniquely descriptive icon. BMP = Blue, GIF = Green, PNG = Purple and JPEG = Red.

I wonder if this was a change unique to the iPaqs?

The community seems to like this game. Here it is, get it. :fatpikachu:

Is there anything cool I could do with an HP Jornada 560 (I forget the exact model no.) in 2025? Is there even hope to replace the very very bad battery?

I can’t believe it! Goal achieved.

The Arteck is a new easily obtainable & affordable #Keyboard. It connects to every persistent #WindowsMobile #PocketPC device that I tested! It’s driverless and the layout is almost perfect for it’s size. It’s also backlit!

I’m confused though. It’s #Bluetooth LE 5.1 and should not work with these Bluetooth Classic 1.2 and 2.0 devices. Whats going on here?

Lets crack it open and take a look.

#WindowsCE #RetroComputing #RetroTech #Palm #PalmOS

4 of my iPaqs and my Dell Axim X51V fanned out around the keyboard. In the middle of them sits the Arteck keyboard. It is hard plastic and black in color. It has white lettering for the keys. The Dell Axim has Word Mobile loaded up.

The Dell Axim X51V has Word Mobile loaded up and it reads: It’s a Keyboard Bonanza! And then proceeds to detail what we covered in the earlier posts.

Now the best for last! The Arteck HB030B #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This is a cheap keyboard that you can still find new. It has a chiclet design, is backlit & doesn’t compromise much on the layout other than messing a bit with the Alt, Ctrl and Windows key button arrangement.

Amazingly this Bluetooth 5.1 keyboard connects to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) & my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

4 of my iPaqs and my Dell Axim X51V lined up with the screens turned on. Below them sits the Arteck keyboard. It is hard plastic and black in color. It has white lettering on it’s chiclet style keys.

This is the #Ipad Kensington Key Folio Pro K39357US.

This #Bluetooth chiclet #Keyboard is fantastic! It is sleek, responsive and feels modern. It also has a decent layout and doesn’t forget the right shift key like the previous Key Folio.

Once again it effortlessly connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and surprisingly also connected to my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

Next up is the #Ipad Kensington Key Folio K39294.

It’s a #Bluetooth 2.0 spill proof rubber covered #Keyboard that drove me crazy due to the right shift key being absent. LOL.

It’s connectivity was identical to the Freedom Pro. It easily connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and unfortunately refused to connect to any of my #Dell Axim X50 and X51 series.

First up is the Freedom Pro #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This keyboard folds in half and has a slide out removable stand for your #PDA.

I didn’t like it. It was probably decent for the time but we can do much better these days.

Regardless, it easily connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and unfortunately refused to connect to any of my #Dell Axim X50 and X51 series.

It was already going to take some luck to get great compatibility with a random #Keyboard but I also had another goal; the #Bluetooth keyboard needed to run under the HID profile so no driver installation would be necessary.

The dream is to get a new keyboard, connect over Bluetooth and just start typing!

I began researching and securing a variety of keyboards to try & focused my testing on persistent #WindowsMobile 5.0+ devices

Unfortunately after talking with people & reading up on the #Bluetooth protocol I learned that Bluetooth Classic (1, 2, & 3) is not compatible with the current Bluetooth LE (4, 5, etc.). I had no idea!

A new keyboard seemed doubtful and everyone I talked to suggested buying an old expensive #PocketPC or #PDA #Keyboard but then I got a great suggestion; get an old #Ipad keyboard.

Those are plentiful and cheap!

A cute cartoonish picture that reads Bluetooth LE and has a picture of a smart watch VS. Bluetooth Classic and has a picture of a speaker.

Those who have followed me for a while know my obsession with #RetroTech. After my #Palm TX bit the dust, I took the opportunity to jump into the world of #PocketPC.

I wrote several tutorials in the past and recently turned my focused to finding a new #Bluetooth #Keyboard that would be compatible with them. There were some made back when these devices were new but there had to be a better, current solution.

A pile of Bluetooth keyboards with various iPaq and Axim Pocket PCs laying on top.

🔎 #Team82 today kicks off an extensive blog series on the Windows CE attack surface. #WindowsCE remains prevalent in operational technology (#OT) and industrial control systems. Part one kicks off the series with a look at basic CE application development. Read here: https://claroty.com/team82/research/delving-into-windows-ce-lets-build-an-embedded-windows-application

Since #Bluetooth doesn't require you to install drivers, would a current Bluetooth #keyboard work with an old #PocketPC or #Palm #PDA?

I know that they had Bluetooth keyboards made for some of them back in the day but I am not familiar with the backwards compatibility of the Bluetooth standard.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have a Bluetooth keyboard to test. Does anyone else know the answer to this?

#WindowsMobile #WindowsCE #RetroComputing #AskFedi #AskMastodon

The original white and blue packaging for a HP iPaq Bluetooth folding keyboard.

It has a picture of the keyboard open like a book with the pocket PC sitting atop horizontally.

The packaging post that it is compatible with HP iPaq units with integrated Bluetooth and pocket PCs.

I recently got an HP HX2495 #PocketPC.

It has been charging for almost 12 hours and is currently at 96%. I unplugged it to tinker around & saw this message pop up.

"Charging in calibration mode."

I have never seen this on another pocket PC. I've looked online and in some manuals and cannot find any reference to calibration mode other than the touch screen.

I assume it's some type of battery calibration. Anyone have info on this?
