I had downloaded some PPC programs a while back and now have a WM5 smartphone....Just wondering if there's any chance that any of the old apps would work on this phone?

Thanks!

Many of them will. However, some will have screen resolution problems which might render them unusable. Also, many PPC apps will refuse to install on a Smartphone. There are several ways around this, such as manually copying the program files to the Smartphone, either from an extracted .cab file, or from an already installed copy on a PPC.

Most of them do, the problem is how to TAP the screen to start anything....
