Turn your Pocket PC into an iPod

by Fabienne Serriere Feb 10th 2006 at 2:00PM

Hardware hacking is a fickle and strange beast. Because of the iPod's popularity, even old Pocket PCs want to be iPod-like. Wait no longer and convert your lowly Pocket PC into a heavenly iPod. To get you started, here is the materials list for the hack:
  • Hammer
  • Large-tip permanent marker, black
  • 1 Steel-toed boot
  • Lighter fluid
  • 1 match
  • Fire extinguisher
  • 1 can spray paint, white
[via hack a day]

Maybe it was a writing assignment with a 500-word minimum. Because, really, it would have been a lot more efficient to just say, "Santa brought me this crummy Pocket PC instead of the iPod I asked for, and now I am bitter."

A pocket PC like an Ipod? Come on, give me a break. That's like comparing a corvette to a nizzan sentra.

Great idea. Take something useful and turn it into a one-trick pony.

That's just not really particularly funny. Yeah I know people like to pick fun at the iPod, but even a moron can see that Pocket PCs aren't designed to be iPods and vice versa. When Pocket PCs have 30-60Gb of storage AND are 11mm thick (or less) and the iPod is still more popular, then things like this might be relevant. Oh well.
