I have a Medion PDA based upon Mitac Mio 168 running Windows Mobile 2003.

Chief usage is as a Satnav, which I have upgraded from TomTom5 to TomTom6,
but new version does not allow rotation of screen (which allows for my PDA to
sit nicely on the dash of my car)

I have heard that Windows Mobile 2003 SE has the rotation feature I'm
looking for, but I cannot find any information on the potential to upgrade,
or where I can obtain 2003 SE software.

Can anyone help?

n.b. If 95/98/XP/Vista is anything to go by, I see no point in looking at
Windows Mobile 6; my PDA has only 64mb memory.

Hi,

I have a pocket-pc-phone thingy wich also runs on Windows Mobile 2003 (don't
know if it's SE or not). But when i start up my phone it hase a standard
icon in the lower right corner of the screen to rotate the screen, don't
know if that's what you were looking for...

I think that's what I'm looking for; unfortunately, it's a feature of 2003 SE
(Second Edition), not the original version on my PDA.

try start/settings/personal/buttons

One of the assignable actions should be rotate screen.

Note, this assignment has only two options, so the horizontal bottom
will end up on the left edge.

AFAIK, no SE upgrade for the Mio 168, sorry.

What apps do you need landscape in? If in book readers, use uBook or Mobi;
if in browsers, use Thunderhawk. Also make sure you read my articles - I've
often discussed this problem (in generic, not 168-specific).

WM6 runs OK on 64M devices. I have a lot of phones / PDA's with 64M RAM only
and have no problems at all.

(Of course, if you meant Flash ROM, which, AFAIK, the 168 only has 32M of,
that's a different question.)
