I must respectfully say that poster #4 is incorrect. The Pocket PC 2003 SDK contains an emulator that runs default ARM-based PPC apps on your x86 box. In non-nerd terms, this means you can download PPC apps and run them on a Windows Mobile 2003 emulator as-is.

Setup for this is a pain in the ass, so you might wanna take a look at that gpspassions link the other replier posted. Supposedly, that is a lot easier to get up and running.

But in short, yes, there's a solution for what you're looking for, play around.

I used the emulators to start .NET CF and eC++ coding while I was waiting for my Axim and Audiovox 5600 to arrive from a won ebay auction :-D

I didn't even have the devices yet, and I was already coding and testing them on the emulators. When my devices arrived, I copied the programs to the devices and they ran perfectly.
