- When I saw "handheld PC" I thought it refers to Steam Deck and alike.
Only until I saw "Windows CE" along with the UI did I realize what devices this forum is actually about
P.S. of course I also confused "HPC" in the domain with "high performance computing"
- This brings back memories. I used to write software for these things before iOS and Android took over.

I even wrote a disassembler for them

haha this made me chuckle
- Browsing this from a CM5 powered Hackberry Pi - a device not on-topic despite being a handheld deck - the problem is I'm running Linux, and these discussions seem more retro-focused on WinCE. Fewer forums for modern HPC than I'd like. Should probably host one.

- Still don't understand people's dislike for Windows Mobile, I liked it a lot.
- brings back memories. ive had a digital organizer/pocket computer since high school in the 90s. casio databank with an alphabetical (not querty) keyboard, Psions where I worked a summer job while travling, Palm, Handspring, Sony Clie, and finally into iPhones — though I do really miss keyboards and terminals.

- Do anyone have any recommendations on "slabtops", i.e computers with a C64 form factor but also a small screen embedded on the keyboard, so I can use it as a scientific computer rather than a laptop

- Certainly very old school.
Side note: this makes me wish the windows handhelds had a phone form factor and 5g

- I should fire up my HP Jornada and join this forum from it.
- Thought this was gonna be about ultra mobile PCs (UMPCs) in general
- I think I've still got a Compaq iPaq in my collection of obsolete gadgets, but last time I tried it the battery wouldn't hold a charge at all.
More disappointingly, other gadgets of a similar era - such as a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox and a GP32 handheld are suffering from flash memory losing it's contents (the firmware), bricking the devices :(
