Is it possible to run Win XP compatible programs on Pocket PC?

Can I somehow convert a WIN XP program to run on my pocket pc which is running Win Mobile? I'm only talking about small applications; I realize that Word and Excel are already available for the Pocket PC format. Thanks.

Sorry, it's not possible. They have different operating systems and chipseta, so you need a program that's developed and compiled specifically for the Pocket PC platform.

Only if available for the Pocket PC. XP programs won't run on Pocket PC's, but Firefox, among others, has a PPC version.

Google / Yahoo search for: Firefox for Pocket PC
