I've got a 3850 and was wondering if it was possible to upgrade it to PPC2003 and if it was really worth it? I like my iPAQ to be a portable Multimedia device but finding it hard since Media Player 8.5 won't play anything I want it to play (this is the main reason, if not the sole reason).
I'm finding it too much of a mission to actually get Pocket MVP or Pocket DivX propely working (without glitches and files not playing at all). Overall well I see a diference multimedia wise? Well things play faster? Well there be any slow downs using a PPC2003 on a 3850? I'm was quite impressed at first on the Multimedia side of things with PPC2002, it played .most of my .asf file fine and all of my MP3 and WAV audio files with out a problem but refused to play most .wmv file. The only reason I can think why is because most of them are encoded for WM9.0.
Another gripe is Flash playback, Is there any program that will play back .swf files without constant slow downs? Trying to watch Strongbad on my PPC is a bit slow (this could be due to processor power though?) :) (Although Im not complaing too much since it actually goes).
I've recently purchase my 3850 from Trademe.co.nz would rather hold on to it for more than 2 weeks before I upgrade :)
