Pocket PC becomes robot brain
A research group from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Freiberg, Germany modified an easily available robot toy to use a Pocket PC as its brain. The RoboSapien toy, which can be purchased for as little as $99 from BestBuy.com, was modified and equipped with a Toshiba e755 Pocket PC and the LifeView FlyCAM CF Camera (http://www.lifeview.com/html/products/IA/flycamcf.htm). The original head of the robot and parts of its case were removed to accommodate the Pocket PC and the CompactFlash camera.

File Explorer and Wi-Fi for Pocket PC?
Hi, I'm new here! Is there a program for the Pocket PC that works like Explorer so that I can, for example, transfer files from the CF to the SD card? Also, is there any way to enter my home network via Wi-Fi so I can exchange files with other computers?

Resco File Explorer is a file explorer alternative.
Resco File Explorer (http://www.resco-net.com) is what I use to transfer files between my shared folders on my home network. It's very easy to use and the software also allows you to copy and paste files from your CF to your SD card on your Pocket PC, or vice versa. It works with wired or wireless connections to my home network. This is a must-have for all Pocket PCs.

If all you want to do is simple file moves, the File Explorer program built in to the Pocket PC is perfectly adequate. No knock on RESCO File Explorer—I've been using it for years—but there is no need to spend the extra money when File Explorer capability is already built into the Pocket PC.
