I think if someone wants to make BlenderCE run on a pocketpc with linux, that should not be such a problem. Blender should compile fine (without stupid problems I had on WinCE) but to be usable, it should use OpenGL ES.

OpenGL ES is available for linux and you could use my wrapper to make Blender run. But some work will need to be done on Ghost (I can help people that wants to make it!)

I would be very happy if BlenderCE is not “Windows Mobile” specific but can run on all platforms. I tried to follow the same philosophy as the Blender source code to remain as general as possible, not including “Wince” specific stuff everywhere.

For more info about Linux on PocketPC, you can have a look here:

But if your really wanting to put you Tung to some use for blender, slap on linux and give it a go :p. Probably won't be able to do much since you'll only have a mouse function, but you'll have a nice shiny overly huge Blender UI with a Splash screen.

If this project progresses I'd most likely switch to a pocketpc, better then lugging my laptop on the bus.

Sorry we missed you at the ITEA Conference. I Tried to send an email back to you, but wouldn't go through. I had Bart's email and sent him a reply about the conference. If you would like to see what we did, go to http://www.blenderanimation.com for a summary. This is a site my collegue set up for our presentation.

This port of Blender is so sick, you've got to love it. Makes you wonder what kind of projects one could come up with on such a tiny device.

Kudos to the developers, this is amazing work.
