iPAQ 3950

[meltdown75]

Hi all.

I just bought a used Compaq iPAQ 3950 Pocket PC from work for $10.

Just wondering what people use these things for, other than to play solitaire and as a remote?

It came with the base / charger, car adapter, LAN card, expansion pack, protective case, all the manuals, everything.

I have it fully charged and tested, everything works like a charm. I loaded some video and VLC player onto it. I also have a storage card that fits in it.

What should I do with this thing?

I use my old Axim in my kitchen with the PDA client for Big Oven for recipes. I also stream music to it via orb or web radio while I cook. The speaker is tinny, but sufficient until I can rig up something better.

EDIT: Oh wait, it looks like the 3950 doesn't have wifi...ignore my streaming suggestions at least.

I could use a new ipaq as my old one recently died. How much do you want for it?

The older iPAQs have excellent consumer infrared. Put Novii Remote on it and use it as an excellent touch screen universal remote.

Ok - here's another question guys and thanks for the replies. :thumbsup:

Can anyone recommend a media player for this thing? I tried to load VLC on there but I have no clue what the heck I'm doing and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

venkman: if I decide to sell it, I'll give you a heads up! :beer:

Load TCPMP v.071 on it. Plays almost everything, except Real media and Quicktime files.
