FLASH ON POCKET PC

Thankfully, Flash is a far simpler matter when it comes to wading through versions and platforms. Go to www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/pocketpc/download/contents.html, download the Flash 5 Player for Pocket PC onto the computer you use to synch your iPAQ, be sure the device is connected, and double-click the application. The rest is nicely automated. Unfortunately, you cannot tap on Flash files and have them open in Pocket IE like you can on your desktop; rather, all Flash files have to be embedded in HTML documents. Otherwise, Flash works much the same on your Pocket PC as it does on your desktop PC.
