Re: Serius pacmate nistalgia going on right now

Re: Serius pacmate nistalgia going on right now
I thought the unit had 128 MB of storage, not 64. As for applications, you can always try some audio games. For instance, here's a link for Audio Archery that should work with Windows Mobile.https://agarchive.net/games/lworks/arc
