How come I don't see any video on my Pocket PC 2002 device? I do hear the soundtrack!

http://www.smartphonemag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19322

Q: How come I don't see any video on my Pocket PC 2002 device? I do hear the soundtrack! A: this is because the Series 8 Pocket Windows Media Player (WMP) on your device only supports Windows Media Video (WMV) 8, which means it won't play the video part of the files that have been encoded with the series 9 of Windows Media Encoder (WME), which has been commonly used in the last 3-4 years.

ThinkOutside StowAway 4.3 keyboard driver and PPC2k2

http://smartphonemag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19296

Pocket PC 2002 users, beware: if you have any kind of ThinkOutside StowAway keyboard, do not get its latest, version 4.3 driver because it's totally incompatible with your operating system. Please note that, much as ThinkOutside does list several PPC2k2 devices on their homepage (the iPAQ 1910, the Toshi e310, the non-upgraded iPAQ 39xx/545x etc.), they offer exactly the same (unified) driver suite ZIP for all downloads - the downloads are definitely not device/operating system-specific. So, it seems it's futile to try to find a different, PPC2k2-compliant version 4.3 ZIP file.
