I read almost all of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on a Windows Mobile phone in the 2000s. They were a great tool for the time, and I much preferred them to the Blackberrys that were more popular with many of my coworkers.

I also had a Windows Mobile 6 based pre-smartphone. Very Windows XP'ish especially regarding the permissions. The new smartphones with their framework and managed access were a huge thing. Windows UAC allowed to control administrator privileges but the framework allowed to prevent access to APIs like the camera. A huge win for security and privacy!

I've watched movies and series in 320x240 on my 1.4 inch mp3 player before I got my 2.4 inch pocket pc. Wild times but I loved how the operating system and apps were designed to display more information than modern apps. Everything was so tiny but it was what I wanted.

I remember fiddling with my dad's Pocket PC in the early 2000s. My little mind was blown when I saw that tiny screen with a Start menu.

It was quite something at the time, I remember it too and this was way before the era of smartphones, touch screens and all that. I remember messing with a palm pilot in the late 90s and that too felt like magic.

My first eBook was Dracula on a Compaq iPAQ 3630. At the time, it blew my mind both that I could read a full book on it, and that the book was free!

It occurs to me that, though I've read Dracula a few times, to this day I've never done so in a "normal" manner. Right now we're nearing the end of "Dracula Daily", so the tradition continues.

I read the entire harry potter series on a .jar application on a 240x320 pixel mobile phone!
