Windows Media Player 10 for PPC

[martin_ayton]

Where can I get WMP10 for my Xda2s (and will it be worth the effort to upgrade from WMP9)?

I seriously doubt you will get it - very few PPC (PE)'s get the WMP10 upgrade and the XDA II is AFAIK not one of them.

BTW, why don't you post quewstions like this to http://pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=33 ? There're far more PE people there than here.

Thanks for responding :way to go:

I did post something of the sort in the PE forum, but I was not aware that WMP10 was an app limited to PE PPCs, so I thought I would ask here too: firstly to increase my chances of getting an answer and secondly because if I wanted an answer to the question, sure as eggs are eggs, someone else (who may not have a phone edition) would too.

As it happens, you are the only person to answer the question, so my approach appears justified. :)

Thanks again.

No, I meant that PE users most probably check out the PE forums first, and only after that come here (if at all) :)

Martin, other non-PPCPE devices have WMP10 too. Axim X30, Axim X50, iPAQ hx3000, some smartphones... A730 may get it if AKU2 is released for it.

I downloaded it as part of the rom update for my shiny new rx3717

WMP10 upgrades for a given PPC brand can't be used for other brands. See, e.g., http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36074

Not even for different models of the same brand. Don't try using the 3715 upgrade on your 4700, or your X30 upgrade on your X3.

My brand-new iPaq hx2750 has WMPM9 instead of 10... grrrr...

And it won't have it either. Unless HP issues the WM2005 upgrade for it too, with built-in WMP10(+).
