Viewsonic Pocket PC v36 - off topic?

Hoping that this isn't off topic, but I just found my old Pocket PC (Viewsonic Pocket PC v36) and was wondering if there is a WM6 (or even WM5) kitchen for it...
I haven't been able to find anything other than (OLD) reviews online.

Thanks.

My wife still uses my old V36 to this day...on the original battery!!! Works like a dream (except for the backup battery is low nag window).

If I recall correctly, I believe the V36 was deemed end-of-life about the same time WM5 came out. I've never seen anything written up about ROM upgrades or even any good updates. Too bad too...that was/is a nice little unit!

I forget the model I got, but I got it as a freebee from Microsoft with my copy of Visual Studio... If I remember right, It came with Windows CE 2003... I bought a ROM upgrade to 2003SE for around $35... almost immediately after putting out the upgrade, Viewsonic withdrew from the PDA market, and stopped seeling the upgrade...

It was a great unit... Of the 7 or so PDAs I've owned, it was my 2nd favorite... (The PPC6700 is my #1) I don't think the Viewsonic PDAs really hit it off the way the 6700 did with developers, or else they would still be around...
