Just got one from a second hand store for 59.99 pounds.
I had no reason to buy it, just my curiosity about testing a much smaller and more underpowered handheld PC.
I thought, wow it's like a GP2X in a PC.
The truth is that it's much worse than that so far.
It's ok for internet browsing and stuff but I was wondering if with the arm I could run some nice emuls or homebrew just like in gp2x. It's very hard to find software and support, you can sometimes try WinCE compatible software and maybe it works in this device too, but everything I tried is using the GDI and it crawls. I haven't found something native to see it's true speed. Even I tried Doom and some other software, that are using some kind of emulation called GAPI. With this, a lot of stuff started running, but crawling. I think it's because I have to select emulation of the GAPI with the GDI of windows.
I am really curious to see how can I program this thing. And if I can get away from using the windows API but doing stuff natively? Fact is you can't find documentatoins because people are not very interested for this device. Already, one has a hard time trying to make existing wince software to work.
I am searching for some solutions now. How to program ON the device. Or how to install PocketDos. Hmm.. this is the most obscure thing I have ever bought.
