Pocket PC?
Q. Hi everyone, I need to buy a Pocket PC, but I don't know anything about PDAs. I only know that Palm is an organizer, and PPC is a computer, so if I want to install some dictionnary softwares, I have to use a PPC, not a Palm, is it correct? If someone knows about PDAs, please give me some suggestions! Thank you. Did somebody install dictionaries on Palm or PPC? I only want to ensure that I'll be able to install some dictionaries in my future PDA. Thank you very much!

A. It depends on the software you want to install. Any software you're planning on using should say which type of mobile device it's compatible with. Both PPC and Palm support dictionary software. I use Lexionary on my pocket PC. It was easy to install, and it's very handy when I'm reading eBooks. I know you can get similar products for Palm OS.

A. You can access the internet with your e335 through a PC (via ActiveSync) or you can buy a wireless network card but it doesn't have any wireless network connectivity out of the box like newer Pocket PCs.

A. You could surf the internet for free, whenever your device is connected to your PC (obviously the PC must be connected to the Intenet) and Microsoft ActiveSync is active.

I successfully connected, however, this wifi internet still won't work on my htc. Does anyone know the proper connection settings? I had no problem connecting with my old router and shaw internet.

A. You have to set up your wireless settings on your SE567 router before you can connect to it with your wireless device. You can access your router settings by going to and pressing the 'login' button in the top right corner. Log in with your username (admin) and the routers' default password (telus) You can then access your wireless settings and set up your wireless key. If you need assistance with this, you may want to contact your ISP for step by step instructions! Good luck!

Asked by Jose - Mon Aug 11 16:23:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The answer is "usually". "Pocket PC" is now called "Windows Mobile Classic" for touch screen devices without a phone built in (such as the iPAQ 111) and "Windows Mobile Professional" if its a touch screen with a phone. If its a Windows phone without a touchscreen its called "Windows Mobile Standard" - previously known as Windows Mobile Smartphone. Now - for compatibility - software created for Pocket PCs usally works on newer Windows Mobile touch screen devices "Professional/Standard". However - if you buy a Windows Mobile phone with a high-resolution screen (VGA / XVGA), a square screen or one that primarily works in landscape orientation (the screen is wider than it is tall) the software may not work.

How to get Wireless Internet on Pocket PC?

My brother has this pocket pc that he never uses and let me have, and I was wondering what I have to do to get wireless internet on it. Like do I need some sort of card or what? I've heard people say hook it up to the computer, but I want to know how to get wireless internet. On the go. What type of hardware AND what type of software. It's an iPAQ, btw. Thankss.
Asked by amuffledscream - Thu Oct 16 22:19:34 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Does your iPaq model have WiFi and/or Bluetooth? If you have WiFi, you will need to find a hotspot to connect to the internet. Pocket IE should be more then adequate if you're doing light occasional browsing. Or (if you have a really good data plan with a mobile phone service), you can 'tether' your iPaq and phone together via Bluetooth. Basically the PDA will treat the phone as a modem and connect to the internet. This is if both devices have Bluetooth built-in. I believe you can find WiFi SD card adapter if your device doesn't have WiFi built-in.

A. If I understand correctly, your PPC has WM5.0 OS with Windows Media Player 10 preinstalled. Bad news are that WMP10 would only play standard WMVs and selected number of MPEGs (AVI and MPG file types) - it depends on codecs, DivX and XviD are not supported. I suggest you to use freeware TCPMP player which will play virtually everything:

How do you move or rip music files from a PC to the storage card on a pocket PC model 3135?
Q. I can rip the files to the "Pocket_PC My Documents" folder and the Sync but because my PC only has 16mb of memory I can only copy a couple of songs at a time. This is very tedious. I can't get windows media player 10.0 to rip directly to my storage card. Help.

A. I'm not familiar with the 3135, but try this. If your pocketpc has a plugin SD or CF memory card, and your pc has a SD or CF (or both) slots, then you should be able to just rip the music to a folder on your pc, then copy the music to your SD or CF card when it is plugged into your pc. Plug the SD or CF card back into your PPC, and you should be good to go.
