Quicktime or AAC on PPC

Are there any applications available for the Axim that can play AAC or Quicktime files?

I was wondering the same thing I found something this website about two weeks ago that says it will do it so I downloaded it says you have to buy it didn't even give me the chance to try it is called i244 or something like I am not sure. So if anybody knows we would appretiate it.

I found a player for playing M4a (AAC) files on the Pocket PC. It takes just a little bit of effort to get it to work, the setup is pretty straight forward. You can play these files with the Philips' Platform4 player. Phillips no longer has this file for download or support, but you can still find it at the link below. You will also have to download the patch. After installing the Platform 4 Player on the PPC you will have to copy the "Platform4PocketPlayer.exe" from the PPC Programs file to your host PC in order to apply the patch. After the patch is completed, just move the patched file back to the PPC and start listening to your AAC files. It works great!

I have been able to do a little playing with the program after installing it. It seems to have some minor limitations, but it is a workable solution for now. I am able to stream my AAC files from my Mac and PCs to my Axim. That is enough to make me happy until something better comes along. Now if only I could stream from my Axim to home stereo via my Airport Express….
