Dear List,
I'd like to have a picture on how many of us use Squeak on WinCE based handhelds. If some of us do, maybe we could trade some useful experience (mainly regarding tricks on how to live with a screen size of 320*240).

Hi--
I use Squeak on an iPAQ, with a subpixel-rendered display in landscape at 1024x768 and higher with zooming and panning, via the Nytidot Virtual Display[1], and an onscreen keyboard I wrote that follows my text focus around on the screen.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the info. I have an external IR keyboard, and it works well with Squeak. I also wanted to give Nyditot a try, but I had the GAPI version, and it didn't get resized. I just grabbed the non-GAPI version, and now I'll try with that.
The only thing that is a problem sometimes is that while resizing windows, the system is 'stuck' in resize mode, and all taps from then on will only change the size of the window. I can't find any way to exit from this resize mode. Have you ever met this kind of problem?
Bye, Attis

I have solved the problem of stuck in resize mode and also change the font to smaller, to fit the world menu inside the desktop :-( I have also changed for a better maximization of windows to use all th escreen (do not waste pixels on border).
The changes (inside changeset of image file) can be found in a file named iPAQimage.zip at http://www.aleReimondo.com.ar/PocketPC
hope this help, but it isn´t enought to make the winCE image a confortable place to work on a day by day basis, Ale.

Hi,
For the PDA version of Ubiquitalk (see http://csl.ensm-douai.fr/UbiquiTalk) we have chosen to make a dedicated GUI. We have a single window with the "right size" to fit the PDA display. The "content" child morph of the window is replaced according to user's activities. Also, UbiquiTalk has a "navigation bar" that allows changing activities and quitting. We also use tabs (e.g. for settings) in order to avoid too much scrolling.
Note : UbiquiTalk for PDA is built on top of SqueakLight because the image size is small. BTW, the world menu in SqueakLight is shorter than "plain Squeak".
