There are hundreds of PQAs out there - optimized web apps for mobile devices (with slower speeds). PDANet -http://www.junefabrics.com/pocketwebclipping/index.php
- offers Pocket Web Clipping (PWC) v 1.0 which is supposed to allow you to run PQAs on PocketPC 2000 and PocketPC 2002.
Two questions: 1. Any views whether PWC will run on the TyTN (Windows Mobile); and 2. Any one aware of software that will enable PQAs on TyTN? This makes a TON of optimized/high speed web access available to us.

can anybody advise if there's a browser that supports java frames - preferably with some kind of smart fit - I'm having no end of trouble accessing my banking info on my xda (using internet explorer)...thanks
Net Front seems to do a good job. Although it doesn't support all Java commands it does do many more then the iexplorer that comes with PPC 2003.

I know this may sound stupid, but what's the difference between a smartphone & PocketPC ? I've got a v1640 and it boots up with windows mobile 5.0 and the information says it's running pocket PC. But....on some web sites they call it a smartphone and when I install software for smartphones, sometimes they run and other times it says "up yours". And then I also get the same problems when running software for Pocket PC's, does it have to be PocketPC 2002, 2003 or windows mobile 5.0 to run properly. Funny thing is on Microsoft's site they call it a smartphone and vodaphone call it a smartphone but when I tried to run the tweaks2k2 program for smartphones, guess what ? It said "Get Stuffed, this program only runs on smartphones and mine is running PocketPC ! (You know what I mean). So the question is do i install software for a smartphone or PocketPC ?
You got a "Windows Mobile PocketPc(PPC)" Running "Windows Mobile 5.0(WM5)"
Use only programs that have support for PPC, and WM5
That some call it a SmartPhone, just shows how smart they are ;-)
Until the platforms have merged you can use a simple rule of thumb
Pocket PC = touch screen and stylus
Smartphone = no touch screen, no stylus.
StyleTap now supports landscape mode. I works well with the HTC Universal. With this application you can run Palm Applications on your HTC Universal.
I use it mainly with SuperMemo. It still needs some more tweaking but it is stable and definitely working great on our device.
Here is a short description from their site:
StyleTap® Platform allows you to run applications (and games!) originally written for Palm OS® handhelds on your Windows Mobile™ Pocket PC handheld. With more than 20,000 applications for the Palm OS platform available – many of them free – you will be able to do so much more with your Windows Mobile Pocket PC handheld.

Dear Forum:
We have a C# application running on older Smartphone models
(MS Windows 2003SE for Smartphone) where both WM5.0 and PDAs
are "overkill".
The Smartphone gets input data from a barcode scanner via
bluetooth (SPP serial profile), forwards the data via GPRS to
a webserver which validates & replies with a beep + ascii-text.
Now, at the end of a transaction, we need to send ascii-text
not to the Smartphone display but rather to a portable printer
at the remote location - preferably also pushed out from the
Smartphone via bluetooth to the mobile printer.
The REAL snag is that 99% of the market only use PDAs so the
hardware manufacturers themselves have no drivers which can
be used on Win 2003SE Smartphone OS (only PPC/WinCE or WM5.0)
and consequently we need to find a workaround to solve this.
[A] Using FieldSoftware's SmartphonePrint which does allow
for bluetooth printing to some models, but it only can print
PIM elements unfortunately.
In that case, we thought of using the Smartphone PIM task
+ Notes attached to a Task, as the text to print, but this
mean we must create a Task+Notes on-the-fly programmatically
deleting any previous ones in the process, AND launch the
3rd-party SmartphonePrint sequence without user interaction!!
Does anyone now how this could be done simply?
Else, has anyone seen any other Smartphone 2003 print
utility from "way back when" ??
[C] Better yet, would anyone knows of any usable drivers?!?
so we indeed could integrate the printing to our C# application
(deployed from MS Visual Studio 2005 Professional), and bypass
the need for a 3rd-party software, which is harder to control
AND which would lead to resorting to end-user action...
Grateful for any suggestions, albeit in priority C > B > A !

==============================================================
PS-1:
There are two-three well-known 3rd-party suppliers of standard
software for printing from an older Smartphone such as Qtek8080
or imate SP3 - aka SPV/Xphone/SDA/SMT5600 etc, namely:
FieldSoftware -- www.fieldsoftware.com/smartphoneprintfull.htm
JetCet -- www.westtek.com/smartphone/jetcet (only IrDA!)
PrintBoy -- www.bachmannsoftware.com/pbce.htm (only MS Mobile 5.0?)
Although articles, forums etc. indicate that PrintBoy works on
both PDA and Smartphones, its CAB-file doesn't install on our
MS Win 2003SE Smartphone...
Repligo 2.0 for Smartphones looks like another method, but we
will have to doublecheck if the HP printing is possible for
the portable printers that are available... ???
www.cerience.com/products/smp/index.htm
www.cerience.com/docs/smp/docs/index.htm#Printing
There are a number of small portable mobile printers available
on the market, many conveniently eqipped with a bluetooth
interface -- these printers are ok for field-service printing
For a visual near-complete listing, see again:
www.fieldsoftware.com/PrintersSupported.htm
PS-2:
There is also ActivePrint for PDA printing while docked, and
it might work for Smartphones. However, it doen't really apply
for printing at remote locations (or in a delivery truck) using
small mobile printers,,,
www.activeprint.pocketwatchsoftware.com/news/2006.04.04.htm
Finally at www.print4mobile.com/Engine.htm we found a system
for printing more sophisticated database-driven report prints
which is a clear overkill for us at this stage, and still we
cannot see how they would handle the lacking mobile printer drivers...
Note:
HP has discontinued its Win Smartphone 2003SE package in late 2005:
