I use the device for 2 weeks now, but there are some questions I can't figure out. I know how to use google and I have a windows Mobile (WM) phone, but Windows CE seems to be quite different.
So if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very thankful:
- Java - I have a midlet called TrekBuddy which I didn't find any alternatives for. But I can't find a running JRE for CE. I tried the following (that run succesfully on WM): IBM J9, Esmertec Jbed, Jeodek and the Mysaifu JVM. None of them did work out. Eve looks promising but the CE 5.0 download doesn't seem to work.
Edit: PhoneME works in the CE 5.0 version.
- TomeRaider - did anyone manage to install TomeRaider (preferably version 3.x) on this device? I'd love to have the whole wikipedia with pictures with me, but I can't find a working cab.
- USB memory devices - I managed to connect an old 2GB flash memory stick and it showed up as hard disk in the explorer. But any other than that don't work, e.g. other flash memory sticks, external hard drives (both 1.8" and 2.5", even connected with a Y-cable connected to my computers USB-port to make sure the hard disk gets enough power) and card readers. What are your experiences?
- Linux - Is anyone trying to boot linux on the device? I tried the method that I use on my phone to boot Android (using HaRET), but I won't even get to the point booting the kernel. Are there any other ways and how do I get in some kind of bootloader mode? Would it work with the combination used while updating the firmware (reset + power)?
Thank you
Edit: I have 2 more questions regarding the hardware:
- Battery - Is there a replacement battery available? Is the battery constructed by Witstech or is it a OEM part used by other manufacturers as well?
- Charger - As I can't charge the device through the USB-port, I search for a charging cable that I can use with a standard USB charger (e.g. for an iPod). I ordered a 2.5 mm charging cable (which is too small) and one for the PSP (which is too big). Now I ordered a 3.5 mm adapter (for Nokia 6110) which I hope to receive this week. Did anyone find something that fits? (the last straw would be making my own using the car charger)
