I believe LDLite was originally written with the Pocket PC in mind as
a possiblity, so it shouldn't be difficult to build a version for
that target. I can't do it because I don't have a Pocket PC to test
it on, or the development environment to build it with. But the source
code is available, so anyone with the tools should be able to build it
with minimal work.
I still don't really see the utility though. Why do you want to view
MPD files on the tiny screen of a Pocket PC instead of a real PC? How
do you get the MPD files there? Is there wireless internet for those
things now? If you're going through a sync cable to a PC, it makes more
sense to view the MPD files there. To me a pocket PC seems like the
sort of device you'd want to use at a store to check set prices or part
lists in a database, not view assembled models. Am I missing something?
