BTW -
ALL modern WM2003SE/WM5 PocketPCs are ARM CPUs - The PXA-series
XScale CPUs used in Axims, Ipaqs, Acer n-series, etc are simply an advanced, higher-clock rate DEC ARM/StrongARM chip now made by Intel, much like comparing a Pentium or P2 to a P4. If you see executables designated for ARM, this simply means it is either backward-compatible or an older application originally coded for older versions of WinCE. Although software made for earlier version of Windows Mobile may have some funky graphical issues, it almost always will run - similar in this aspect to software for desktop Windows.
In older versions of WinCE/WM, there were other CPUs as well - Hitachi SH3 and MIPS. This meant that there needed to be three different executables for each application to run on all platforms, so you can see why they've standardized on a single architecture.
- imagine the problems of desktop Windows if not all PCs were x86-compatible!
Long-time Mac users have known this pain
twice now.. anyone for 'fat' binaries? ;)
