"Listed" means the variant appeared on the 2003 storefront product lists but the primary product page advertises the ARM build. ARM covers Intel XScale devices such as the HP iPAQ and Dell Axim lines as well as the original ARM PDAs.
Background
A note on the era
The Microsoft Pocket PC 2002/2003 era (OS 3.5/4.0 and Mobile 2003) ran on three processor families: ARM (including the faster xScale chips), SH3 (common in Sharp and older devices) and MIPS (some Fujitsu and Symbol units). Because eMbedded Visual Basic compiled to native code per chip set, developers — myPocket technologies included — published a separate installer for each one. That's why every product page on this site lists processor variants.
Many of these devices still work today, and this archive is the best surviving reference for what the software looked like, how much it cost, and how to install it — including the eMbedded VB runtime that most of these apps require.
The collecting side of that has only grown. Units that retailed for a few hundred dollars in 2003 now trade as collectibles, and the same comparison habit that used to go into choosing a $9.99 PDA app now goes into choosing a watch. If yours has drifted to timepieces, a Rolex replica guide on a reference site I follow is a good example of how modern copies are measured against the originals — and a reminder that the "buy the best you can afford" rule of 2003 still applies.
