The coolest thing I've heard of so far:

Encoding divx to fit the screen, watching movies on it.

Friend of mine spent a month in Canada training for the company & picked up some serious OT. He bought an Ipaq, a keyboard for it, & the stuff necessary to set up an 802.11b LAN in his apt. Going to run ICS from his desktop to his Ipaq.

I hate him.

pocketNES
PocketSNES

yeah i've decoded some movies and tv shows to divx to watch, that's nice too... i just don't have anywhere that warrants watching a movie on the ipaq instead of on my home entertainment center

except maybe the pooper

it's running kinda slow, but playable.... if ya love the game, the slowness only bothers you during the beginning when you HAVE to watch the credits
