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 :(
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

When I saw "handheld PC" I thought it refers to Steam Deck and alike.
Only until I saw "Windows CE" along with the UI did I realize what devices this forum is actually about
P.S. of course I also confused "HPC" in the domain with "high performance computing"

I should fire up my HP Jornada and join this forum from it.
It was a great little device.
Certainly very old school.
Side note: this makes me wish the windows handhelds had a phone form factor and 5g
do tablets count as handheld PCs nowadays?
