However, it is not development-friendly : at the moment as it does not have peripherals such as built-in NIC, hard : drive, or serial console capabilities. I thought it did have a serial port... All of the PocketPC machines I've looked at do, but I haven't looked that close at the iPaq. All of them have some funky connector for their serial port, but that comes with the units. However, the iPaq is a little hard to develop on... There are a number of other StrongARM based Windows CE machines that would make a much better platform. They even have NetBSD/hpcarm on them, which would allow one to host the FreeSBD development on them if you really wanted to do so. The HP Journada is likely the best known of this series and the NetBSD folks have already figured out all the hair for things like boot loader and the like. Failing that, the DNARD certainly is a cool machine and might make a good reference platform.
