Call of Duty 2 coming to Pocket PC
Most video games for PDAs tend to be of the Tetris/Bejeweled puzzle game variety. While that sort of game is easy to play for a few moments while waiting for a meeting and then put away, the truth is, modern PDAs are pretty powerful machines, capable of handling games that are at leas as sophisticated as anything you'd find on a Nintendo GameBoy Advance or newer portable game system. In fact, Pocket GBA is a pretty decent Gameboy Advance emulator capable of running games at full speed, although the audio usually sounds a bit funny.So it's not surprising that Aspyr has ported Call of Duty 2 to run on the Pocket PC. What's more surprising is that more popular console-based video games haven't been ported. The only other official port of this caliber that I can think of is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, also ported by Aspyr.
Call of Duty 2 Pocket PC Edition should be available by the end of January. It's compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 machines. You'll need a Pocket PC or Smartphone with a 300 MHz or faster Intel XScale processor, 28MB of free RAM, and a storage card with at least 32MB free. There's also a hardware accelerated version that takes advantage of PDAs with an Intel 2700G or NVIDIA GoForce 5500 processor.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I'd just like to point out it WON'T run on any electronic that starts with a lowercase letter...
