I can access the Internet ~ 5 seconds after I turn the wireless on, on my iPaq 5550.

Hi,

I wonder if someone could tell me if the 3835 would have similar improvements to those that Jason found on the 3600 series with WM2003?

I recently bought a 2215 and can play my SNES ROMS on that unit no problem - but I could never play any on my 3835 - it would just not work right. I used the most recommended emulator but nada. The machine just seemed too slow.

:?: Do you think these improvements brought by WM2003 will allow my 3835 to run these ROMS like the 2215?

Definitely, WM2003 would bring major speed improvements to your device... Of course you cannot install the H2215 ROM to the 38xx device...
You will have to wait for an upgrade to be made available by HP...
This makes me very angry as they do have the RTM bits since April and they simply do nothing about it... :evil:

Jason,

Could you extend the benchmark comparison to cover storage card specs too, perhaps with a CF card Expansion Pack and both a 1.0 GB IBM/Hitachi Microdrive and a fast 1.0 GB flash memory card?

It would be helpful to see the impact of the different operating systems on that too.

Petvas,

Thanks a lot for your help on that one. I will buy the upgrade from HP - I think someone was saying it will be available in 2-3 weeks so thats not too bad.

How certain can we be about these SNES ROMS working on a 38xx with WM2003? Don't mean to split hairs on this - just want to make sure I am not wasting $30 which could be put towards a new ipaq. Is there anything that can be established from those benchmarking tests Jason has done that would indicate this objectively?

Thanks again Petvas and hope Greece is getting some relief from the heatwave in Europe!

Before I close - well done Jason for such a fine site - will be subscribing when you get the visa payment method up and running.

Unfortunately, no, I can't - I no longer have a Pocket PC 2000 3650. I can try to see the difference between 2002 and 2003 when I get my Axim upgrade though....

Yes, who must we beg/bribe/"sacrifice to some dark gods" to get our dirty little mittens on it? My 3630-with-memplug-dualcf-and-256-cf is just begging me to get it....

and yes, i *would* be willing to pay for it AND sign a waiver of responsability in case it kills my device to get it... anyone from hp/ms reading this?
