Well, I'll be getting a new Dell Axim PocketPC soon and was wondering if HD can be run on it...?:D

If it has 128 MB of available RAM, the equivalent processing power of a PIII 200 MHz (or better), and Java2 version 1.4.1 support, then sure (unofficially).

Heck, v2 will likely be reducing that RAM requirement significantly.....

Well --
It's powered by the Intel®_ XScaleTM_ Processor at 400MHz to help you keep up with the tasks of everyday life and equipped with 64MB SDRAM and 48MB Intel StrataFlash® ROM.

Is that enough? :D

No, not on your life. I've tried it on a much beefier system and it was unthinkably slow. I am using it on a machine that kicked ass last summer and runs just great. Hopefully V2 will fulfill the promise of getting it to run in a smaller space. The idea of having a pocket PC available to the GM at a remote location (gaming store for example) is idylic.

If final version 2 is anything like the test cases, it will be.

Zoom.

How about a Read Only version for bringing finished characters along?

And.. Please don't forget PALM(c).

If you want read only, just export the character into a format that your PDA can read.
