Just to follow up on your Inbox letter on printing documents from a Pocket PC in the September 2003 edition--I came across a free printing utility for my iPAQ on the HP Website (www.hp.com/go/pocketpcprint_software).
Scott Ellis
Scott, thanks for the tip! The free software, HP Mobile Printing for Pocket PC, lets iPAQ users print e-mail, appointments, contacts, tasks, Pocket Word documents, and images.
I was deployed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in support of OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom). I use my iPAQ h3600 Pocket PC along with my TeleType GPS receiver and software daily while flying my missions as a backup to our out-of-date onboard system, which lacks a moving map. The situational awareness that the TeleType system creates is unmatchable.

G'day, mate. I read an entry you wrote about Pocket PC 2002 on Pocket PC magazine's Website (www.PocketPCmag.com). I recently bought an iPAQ h1910 Pocket PC, but I'm having trouble finding applications for it. There seem to be a lot of .prc documents around, but they seem to be only for the Palm OS (or at least that's what the Websites they're on say). Just wondering if you could shed some light on where I might find some applications for the iPAQ h1910, or at least whether or not I'm able to install .prc files on it, and how.
Rhys Allen
Rhys, there's plenty of software available for the h1910 or any Pocket PC. Check out Handango (www.handango.com) or Pocket PC magazine's online Encyclopedia of Software & Accessories (www.PocketPCmag.com/encyclopedia.asp). Make sure the software says that it will work with the Pocket PC 2002. Also, you can use Peekabook (www.oopdreams.com/ce/peekabook/) or Starbuck (www.thumbsupsoft.com/maphtm/starbuck.html) to read .prc files.
