I'm in the process of building up to getting an XDA Exec when my current mobile phone contract ends. I have a few more questions, if anyone can help:
- browsing the web: is there a browser for the XDA Exec that can display Macromedia Flash? There's a site I use every day to publish articles, and it uses a Flash uploader.
- memory: what type of memory cards does the XDA Exec take? What's the largest possible memory card you can get for it?
Cheers

you can download a flash player which makes even poor old pocketIE display flash
it use MMC/SD cards you can get those up to 8GB these days i think

Hi
I'm trying to run 2 applications simultaneously on the 64 mb XDA - one app TomTom provides a GPS service to my app which provides specialised GPRS messaging.
Everything runs OK until we fall below approx 20 megabytes of free program memory, at which point the XDA closes down the app that is not in the foreground.
The symptoms can be recreated with combinations of any of the standard applications - word excel etc. It looks like a resource shortage problem but with 20 meg of store left I don't know what other resource could be in short supply. I don't seem to have the same problem on my trusty old 36XX ipaq - sorry about the rude word.
Is this design intent - Have I missed something - any ideas?
Cheers

Hi guys,
I'm just writing an all-in-one roundup of all the available Flash players for the Pocket PC, along with a lot of never-before-published hacks and tons of real-world compatibility test reports.
However, I can't find the MIPS version of the free Macromedia Flash Player 5 (the last Flash Player version to support non-ARM Pocket PC's). It's no longer available anywhere, it seems (spent some 2 hours on searching) (now, version 7 is the current one; not even version 6 supported non-ARM CPU's any more). As it must have been really superior to the other, still available Flash player, Conduits' free Pocket Spark, it'd be really nice if I could find it so that I can report on its compliance with the tested Flash games.
Does anyone still have it around? I'd be REALLY grateful if somebody could point me to a download!
Most of my reviews on PocketPCFreeware.com were made using a Casio E-125, and then a Casio E-200. I used to download each and every available software for both machines to keep a local copy on our site when it's necessary.
And I don't remember any Flash 5 Player for my E-125, but I may be mistaken. I still have the MIPS Flash 4 Player though, and if I remember well, it was not a plugin for PIE but a stand-alone application.

I've also looked around on http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/ a day or so ago but only found version 7 - no version 4 (/5). I can't connect it now - it doesn't seem to be respoding (may be a connection problem with Toonel though).
Is version 4 online in there? If not, could I get it in some way please (e-mail, for example - mine is info AT winmobiletech.com)?
In the meantime, thanks to akheron at AximSite and dlangton at PPCT, I've been sent the stuff.
Thanks again!
Our site was down yesterday
In the french comments (sorry but our site is primary french and that the richest part by far...) of Flash Player there are links to Macromedia's site which still hosts these old versions:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...pc/4.0.22.1/FlashPlayer4DR-MIPS-Installer.exe
As our bandwidth is limited, we only include a file on our site when we are quite sure that it's completely unavailable on the web. Please tell us if you really find a Flash 5 version.
Thanks again - I'll credit you too in my forthcoming article
Also, keep up the good work with PPCFreewares :way to go:
I got a new xda orbit (WM6) at the end of August, and am delighted with it. There are a couple of minor niggles, and I am wondering if anyone can help?
1)I cannot find a way of finding out how much space is available on my storage card. The properties in File Explorer, Active Sync and even Total Commander all gave a zero value for the card, which I know isn't true, coz I've lots of stuff on the card and am using it, and the individual files are displayed!! Perhaps there is a freeware replacement for file explorer that would do the job, but it would also be nice if it could cut and paste, which was why I installed TC. Taking the card out and putting it in a card reader is a no-no, given its position behind the sim card, as you all know!
2)Are there any walkers out there(not car drivers) -esp. in UK, who have actually tried some of the gps freeware on a walk? There seems to be a few around and wondering which is best. All I want is a latitude/longitude and/or grid ref. though maps would be nice!
For info, I've been expirementing with various bits of software, available on the internet, and can recommend the following - No Data(to prevent the orbit using a chargable data service, when you are in a free wireless internet area) Flashkeys-touch screen keyboard, cut and paste to documents Boxworld and Freecell (Board Games) Alarm Clock (yes, its just called that, by GreenSoftware) Acrobat Reader, Conversion (by Mammoth Software) Magic Button (to make sure programs close) VSPAinterLE, Plamp and Pocket Flashy (find your tent and your friends in the dark at festivals!) I'm still testing Alreader which came highly recommended(you need to look hard for the English version, but the Russian one works a treat and the basics don't need translation)
Hi all,
Just a few quick questions regarding the 'iPhone' killer
1) Does the phone support MicroSDHC? (i'm almost certain it does)
2) If so, what is the maximum capacity it can take? 16gb? 32gb?
Some other useful info, when visiting my local 02 shop, the store manager showed me on his workstation that the release date they had was the 22nd. Dont know if this helps.
Cant wait for this phone tbh, even if people are worried about SDK's. In fairness, most apps are pretty poor and are just a time sink. Being able to have a 3.5mm jack and ability to browse with a decent size screen are fantastic. In addition, once you install FPSECE (Playstation emulator) what more do you need
From the moment this comes out i'll be working on building a library to access the accelerometer etc.
My laptop is dell inspiron core i5 5567, 8GB RAM and 1TB Hard disk.
Background:
If I'd enough money, I'd just go and buy a new laptop. But that's the problem, I don't have it. I've seen my friends doing very perfect for be it web development or app development in 128GB SSD and 512GB Hard disk(even now, few months ago, to be precise).
I'm planning to learn web development, make personal projects(I Don't need to host them to public professionally, heroku will do the job. And backups of codes can be stored in github once the project is completed) so that I can apply for jobs. The jobs that I'm applying are the same that university graduate in USA does. (Only difference is that they treat you like sit and pay sit )
I currently have a 1 TB hard drive. I still have 650-700 GB of space left on hard drive. Problem is that I've used it for more than 10000 hrs and the disk health isn't looking great either according to crystaldiskinfo and crystaldiskmark(Although crystaldiskinfo said "GOOD" health). (These problems are being faced since long time but I didn't code for more than 2-3 weeks so I didn't care that much at that time)I faced problems like even VS code used to hang, 100% disk usage would make me suffer(in a fresh installed OS, this'd happen even while not coding, it'll randomly happen like that. But not forever. If I restarted, then it'd be gone. But again after some time, it'd come. I'd tried everything given on the internet and forums about it and it wasn't fixed permanently->the only conclusion that I found is "Get a SSD".), Pycharm repeatedly kept crashing(no matter how many times I re-installed and re-setted up) and a general perception that I built was "Applications are getting optimized for speed of SSDs, and everyone must have a SSD for their C drive". I ignored it at first, because I felt like why should I get it? My laptop is dell inspiron core i5 5567. The SSD that I can put here will have speed of 62.5MB/sec. And even my current hard disk has similar speed.
I'm getting more speed in my 5yo hard disk than that'd come from my new SSD. LOL. (It's done on Ubuntu on small sample though). BTW which company's SSD is great? Is TOSHIBA's SSDs good? Do tell about that as well.

I can share the link to all the details of the problem I was having, and various other details which will only make this post unread-ably long if I post it here, if you allow me to share. It is in superuser website.
HENCE, I'm switching to hybrid storage with SSD and Hard disk.
Every penny counts to me and I don't want any underutilizations as well as risking not enough SSD space. (Storings data like music, images, videos isn't a problem in this case, because I've very less of them).
I can get a new laptop once I get a job with 1 year of salary.
Requirements:
Here's my software requirements. The storage are just my guesses, your insights would be valuable here.
1) Windows 10/11.
2) Microsoft Office Professional containing word,doc, ppt, excel.
3) Brave browser (Not considering downloads for browser. Downloads can go to hard disk)
4) Chrome browser
5) Firefox browser
6) images2pdf softwares
7) IDE(probably VScode or pycharm whatever supports web development and is easy to use for beginners)
8) Web development installations (for 1 stack like MERN, MEAN etc)
9) Viber/Telegram Downloads (Can be removed regularly on unwanted basis)
10) Save codes and notes on Joplin while learning. Notes will contain images+codes+text.
11) Note taking app on Joplin
Windows 11 would need 64GB, I don't think my laptop would support windows 11 so at max my windows 10 can go upto 64GB
MS-Office could take 4GB.
While most browsers take 100MB for installing but for storing cache, bookmarks etc I'm not sure how much would they be taking!
images2pdf type software would take 500MB. (I use online tools mostly but sometimes for special files and situations, I use this desktop application).
I'll need Joplin for note taking. It'd take 500MB+(size of Notes pdf). If I can install it in Hard disk, No issues at all. Can I? Is it possible? I'm going t use caddy and use both Hard disk and SSD at one laptop internally. I'll do the same for Viber and Telegram so that the downloads stay at Hard disk as they're not very important and in very less quantity as I don't have tons of people out there in Viber and Telegram.
I've Never done any web development so I'm not sure how much space learning any of those stack would take. Like space taken by django, a SQLserver etc. I'm not talking about exe file size but the size taken by them after installation.
My files storage requirements (of current,for storing datas like videos, audios, pictures,pdfs etc):
1) Important docs 34.7MB
2) Study materials that needs to be saved forever 41.5 GB ( I can instead just index the name of the book and download it later as they're all downloaded from online. More than 90% storage can be freed up from 41.5GB)
3) Very important courses downloads 103.16 GB.
4) Unimportant courses 206.1 GB (I downloaded them online, It's very less likely that I'm going to use them. They're not very important. But I could need them if a course is really good or if the topic is really tough and I need multiple insights)
So, I need around 110 GB of files and multimedia storage. I really don't want to waste SSD space by storing them so I'm instead planning to get 128GB pen drive for it. It's because I won't use this course heavily but they are useful. But I'm hearing things that pen drives are sit. Losing pendrives isn't the problem for me but it could instead be quality and durability. Original pen drives aren't generally sold here so loosing data could be a big risk with that.
For those unimportnat 2016.1 GB of course, I'd just keep them where they're currently at-1TB Hard disk.
HELP Question:
In my region, If 1 TB hard drive costs x, then 128GB pen drive costs 0.307x and 256GB SSD 0.538x and 512GB SSD costs 1.153x. I'm not mentioning budget because I'm not buying from amazon or any American/International sites.
Can you share your ideas about what should I do?
As I said above, this is My view:
1) Get 128GB pen drive to store 103.16GB of "Very Important Courses"
2) Buy 256GB SSD. 64GB for OS(Windows 10 as I don't think windows 11 will work in my laptop) and 192GB for files.
Is there better approach to this?
Remind me of things that I'm not noticing atm.
Extra:
While I've said this for web development, I really would love information about android/IOS app development setup required (storage only).
It usually depends on the work of full stack developer that how, much space he needs such as if you are working in gaming industry you needs more than 1TB because you have to run heavy game engines as well with coding so if you want to learn deeply about laptop for full stack developer, it will help you to understand your needs more deeply.
