the older Pocket PCs. In practice that is not always the case. If a
WM 2003 P/PC legend is not given for a particular software, you
should check out the website of the developer, to check if an update

Which processor
do I have?
If you have a
Compaq iPAQ 36xx or a UR There @migo, you have an ARM processor. If
you have a Jornada 54x, you have an SH3 processor. If you have a
Casio Pocket PC you have an MIPS processor. You can look in Settings >
System > About on your Pocket PC to be sure.
If you have a
Pocket PC 2002, you have an ARM processor, but some of the older
programs for ARM processors may not work on Pocket PC 2002s.
If you have a
Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC, you have an Intel XScale
microprocessor. Many applications which were developed for the older
Pocket PCs or Pocket PC 2002s may not work on Windows Mobile Pocket
PC 2003.
