Well, kinda-sorta.
WINCE (I always loved that acronym for a MS Product!) is more like the Grandaddy of PPC2002 and WM2003. Kinda like Windows 3.1 is to ME and XP. And WINCE is like a step-child of Windows Full Size platforms. So bits of WINCE are still there, they have been assimilated by Unka Bill from BORG into the newer releases (PPC2002 & WM2003). ![]() (You know?

ahhh. So since mine is version 4.xxxx, software designated as CE version 3 ONLY prolly will not run on my ax.
Thanks. That clears a lot. I had a bunch of freeware programs selected to DL (over dial up) while I slept (I mean a BUNCH) | |||||

Some apps are Forward Compatible from WINCE up to PPC2002, possibly to WM2003 as well, but I don't run 2k3 so I can't verify it.
I've got a couple of apps from my WINCE Device days that run fine on my Axim 400 A04. If they're FREE, let 'em download and try 'em. | ||||

and I don't know how to edit my post
[edit] I see now-- up at the top by the post time...[/edit] But I wanted to say that I too find the WINCE acronym ironic and comical [edit2] Oh, and which is the "Built in storage" on win file explorer- RAM or ROM? thanks [/edit2] | |||||

BIS is leftover ROM after the OS is loaded. It will not be wiped even with a Hard Reset and is a good place to put an Executable (.exe) type of Back Up, such as that created by Sprite Backup. HERE's how I have my Sprite Backup configured.
Not good for some programs, as ROM has a limited number of Writes. It's a large number (100,000 or so), but some programs update continuously and that latge number could get eaten up pretty quickly. | ||||

Mips and sh3 are pre historic... well kinda
you will be using the arm. xscale is built on the arm platform. you probally will not have seen a mips or sh3 unless you come across a hand held pc (clamshell device) or an old newton or something...a few of the first PPC's (palmtops) had mips i think. not sure but you are definitely in the arm class (im rabling again i know) | |||||

True. Trying to install anything other than xscale or arm(strongarm) processor compatible will give you the incompatible error message.
Windows CE(Compact Edition) sure has come a long way, though. ![]() | |||||||
