This brings back memories. I used to write software for these things before iOS and Android took over.

I even wrote a disassembler for them

I think I've still got a Compaq iPaq in my collection of obsolete gadgets, but last time I tried it the battery wouldn't hold a charge at all.

More disappointingly, other gadgets of a similar era - such as a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox and a GP32 handheld are suffering from flash memory losing it's contents (the firmware), bricking the devices :(

I should fire up my HP Jornada and join this forum from it.
