Any use for an Ipaq?

Hey Guys.

I've just been given a box full of Compaq Ipaqs!  There are loads of H3660s and a couple of more recent ones, a 3950 and a 3850.  None of them have BT or WiFi, but the more recent two can be expanded with wifi compact flash cards fairly easy.  Does anyone know if they are useful for UAV’s or robotics? Are there any projects you know of that use them?

Cheers

Jim

We wrote an autopilot for the iPaq back in the day. You can read about it and get the code here. Never really worked very well, however, and we moved on.
