Tuesday February 13, 2007 New HP iPAQ w/Windows Mobile 6.0 and Java ME tech
HP announced the new iPAQ 510 which is a phone and a PDA (two, two, two mints in one). It's got Windows Mobile 6.0, but more importantly (wait for it...) Java ME technology. (You knew it was coming, didn't you?) See: It's a smartphone, but apparently it s*cks Here's a quote: Just as any other smartphone from 2007, the HP iPaq 510 can capture photos or short videos on its 64MB of memory; it can also store Java games and play short movies. The memory can be expanded with a 128 MB microSD card.Hey, we can't help it if a smartphone misses the mark with missing features and functionality, especially if Microsoft and HP are involved. But, at least it has Java ME CLDC/MIDP technology. And... more importantly, you can put Java ME CDC technology on it with the open source phoneME Advanced project. That way, you can make up for all the phone's deficiencies and create your own Java ME CDC-based platform instead. Dude. What are you waiting for? |

That's a good new!
But does PhoneMe Advanced run on Windows Mobile 6.0?

Good question, Miguel. I'm going to guess yes, since our Pocket PC 2003 build from 4 years ago (called Captain America back then) ran on Windows Mobile 5.0 when it first came out, without modification. So, there's very good chance that the same build of phoneME Advanced (same codebase as Captain America) will run on Windows Mobile 6.0 also.
This of course is unconfirmed, since Microsoft only just released Windows Mobile 6.0. But, if anyone out there currently has a Windows Mobile 6.0 device, let me know and we can try a little experiment...
Thanks,
Hinkmond
