If you're willing to ditch the "windows mobile" requirement (Wince/WM is crap anyway) then you could have a look at the Sharp Zaurus series. Run www.pocketworkstation.org on one of the Zaurus and you'll have access to most of Debian in the palm of your hand. I've successfully run FUDforum using Apache2/PHP4/MySQL on my Zaurus. Ruby on Rails works as well albeit a tad slow -- I need to figure out how to get fastcgi working. And unlike WM devices, you can run *real* browsers, Firefox and Mozilla are available. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
