The PPC downloads for windows media have currrently been removed from
the MS site :-P ... All old download links point to the windows XP
media 9 page <sheesh !>

I'm chasing them. If anybody knows the old URLs please do post them
for us ....

In the meantime you might want to google for 'Betaplayer',
'PocketDIVX' or 'PocketTV' as I understand they're rather good.

Real networks also do a version of Real Player for pocket PC but its
nowhere near as good as their desktop version.

Cheers - Neil

Thanks schang, its a good start. I was thinking as well about the
Player version 8 for PPC2002 which somebody asked about the other day.
Only the version upgrade is there, not the full player - yet it was
referenced on peoples PPC activesync CDs provided with their pocket
PCs.

Cheers for that anyway - Neil
