Guest Guests Posted 31/10/05 11:27 PM Share Posted 31/10/05 11:27 PM Hi all,Got a quick question, with a no doubt an answer that will make no real sense to most of us, but will to those on the forum that are versed in Microsoft Windows and software programming, or as an alternative 'know of' a small, but capable, software development company.Currently most of us that have a home PC or alaptop are running a Windows Operating System, be it NT or XP Home/Professional.Similarly Pocket PC or PDA's with phone capabilities will be have a version of Windows called 'MOBILE' and the lastest variant is 'version 5.0'I want to know how:Is it possible to run an a Windows based program (PC/Laptop) with alterations in its programming and source codes so it will be compatible and capable of being installed onto Windows Mobile (PPC/PDA) so long as it meets the processing speed and storage requirements.(see told you it was going to be a quick question )I've got a few ideas, but won't let cat out of the bag yet, that could prove to be 'unequivically boundless ' for those who are, who have and who think about, modifying their cars!Appreciate all feedback, IT guru or not.Thanks Darren.

Hope this helps. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21053-the-possible-future-of-modifications-ver-11/#findComment-310617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

faygun Member 389 Member For: 21y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/11/05 09:03 AM Share Posted 01/11/05 09:03 AM that's correct. PC software has to be re-developed for Pocket PC (e.g. Windows Mobile 2003, etc) as it has a different type of processor. We are currently doing something very similar at work where we have developed a PPC version of one of our popular software. I have not used Windows Mobile 5.0 as yet. I believe it is slightly superior to the current one Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition with better support for graphics and a bit more enhancements including Pocket Excel and more Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21053-the-possible-future-of-modifications-ver-11/#findComment-310629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys are complaining about how slow running GPS software on a 2.8 P4 is ( carputers ). taking 30 secs to re-route etc, when on my PDA, it's instant. There is a download from Microsoft, it's free. I d/loaded a remote screen for my PDA. This means I can use my PDA from my desktop when connected via active sync. Just using the mouse to navigate the screen. The PDA even has 'touch beeps' when a 'button' is pressed.. nice..
