Default Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Software Compatibility?

http://www.manueldelatorre.com/ppc2003/

There's been a great amount of discussion about software compatibility in WM2k3PPC (or Pocket PC 2003, if you prefer to call it that. ) It seems most regular applications work, but not all. Manuel de la Torre is starting up a compatibility list, and welcomes feedback and additions.

Marc Zimmerman also writes in suggesting that a poll be done to canvass user experience. If you own a new Pocket PC based on the 2003 operating system, how is your experience faring? (As always, hit Discuss if you just want to view the results.)

I don't yet have a PPC2003 (or a "l33t" PPC, whatever that is). But I voted for the last choice so I could see the results of the poll. There's probably another way.

It's hacker-speak for "elite." It's commonly written "1337" for that sweet I-can't-type-using-letters-like-a-normal-person-because-I'm-too-cool-for-that hacker look. Think of "elite" as the coolest of the cool. 8)

Example: My Web site is not 1337.

You can just hit "Discuss" to view the results. I'll update my post to reflect this.

Bug Me and Mapopolis installed and worked fine. I contacted Cash Organizer and they said it should install without problems but I haven't tried yet.

My new Pocket PC is so l33t, I don't need no stinkin' applications! 28% [ 26 ]

Bloody script kiddies. :roll:

Trivia! I have a gold star for anyone who remembers where the term "elite" comes from.

Although there is no real problem with Agenda Fusion, the Today wallpaper does not appear in the Today screen of Agenda Fusion. But I guess this is not enough to warrant inclusion into a "doesn't work" list.

Default Avantgo and Vindigo!

My Ipaq 2215 is my first PPC, so I don't have a whole lot of apps installed, but I've been really surprised that Avantgo and Vindigo both have issues!

- Avantgo won't hotsync reliably unless I do a soft reset before I sync. It gives me an error message something like "Device components are missing or out of date."

- Sometimes, when I start the Vindigo application, the title bar and menu bar appear, but the application hangs before it displays anything else. (The application I'd previously been using stays on the screen.) All other apps continue to work normally, but a soft-reset is required to make Vindigo work. It seems this pattern occurs mostly after I've been watching recorded TV shows in Windows Media Player.

Anyone else experiening this?

-Matt
