I just recently picked up the Compaq iPaq PocketPC recently, and was

Grr.. I wish Compaq would have better supply on iPaq's. All delivery estimates atleast to most of the Europe has been delayed multiple times, now earliest estimates sometime next month. From what I've read, it seems very interesting development platform. It definitely gives much more possibilities than Palm by the CPU being 10x more efficient, having decent color display and so on. Though, I've always wondered why they chose 12-bit instead of 16-bit for the display.

thinking that with the similarities of the base hardware, an empeg emulator could be possible on this device.

Most probably, but I don't get the point why would you want empeg emulator on iPaq?
