Pocket PC Games

Hi All,

I've been a TGE owner for many years now and have started and canned more torque projects than I can poke a stick at! I think it's time to take on smaller projects and hey, just for something completely different, actually get one across the finishing line :)

So I am thinking of heading down the Pocket PC games development route, I've owned a couple of these gadgets in the past and now that they are popping up all over the place as PDA/Phone combos I'm thinking it might be time to have a look at this market.

I'm just wondering how many of you guys out there actually own a Pocket PC and how many of you actually play games on them. Also, is there anyone in the community that has some PPC titles under their belt and if so is there really a market for games on PPC devices?

Thanking you all in advance..

I have a Phillips with CE 2.0 lol. It's in my Antique bin now.

In theory TGB could be ported over to the latest CE.

I've been looking at using GapiDraw.. It's certainly pricey and will cut into my budget but it should get me up and running in no time..

Surely there are more of you out there with a PPC!.. have i grossly overestimated the number of the devices out there in the wild?

I think you're on the right track Stuart. With me, since I own a Sony PSP, I don't use my Pocket PC/phone for games, but I have thought about developing games for that market. Unfortunately, due to time and budget, and other matters, I can't get a project finished.
