Gave up and got a PocketPC on eBay..... I have questions...

Well the trade thing wasn't working out as planned, so I took the road down eBay. Here's what I got:
Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3765

Operating system: Pocket PC2002 (Windows CE)
Built in memory: 64 MB
Color depth: 12-bit (4096 colors)
Screen resolution: 240 x 320
Backlit display: Yes
Connectors: Serial Connector, Infrared Connector, USB Connector
Headphone jack: Yes
Input method: Touch Screen
Handwriting recognition: Yes
Voice recorder built in: Yes
Expansion slot: CompactFlash, IBM MicroDrive, Flash Card (All Sold Separately)
Battery type: Lithium Polymer Rechargeable Batter (950 mAh)
Included accessories: Docking Cradle with Battery Charger and USB connection
Dimensions (hxwxd): 5.11 x 3.28 x .62 in.
Weight: .42 oz.
I know it's older, but I got it for a good price and because of one main feature: the CompactFlash support. As it is of my personal belief that Canon makes the best cameras (and I got a great deal on mine), I've got a Canon digital camera and a 512, 256 and 16mb CF cards. And because I'm a total PocketPC newbie, I've got some questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with:
1) Does it seem like a pretty good system?
2) Can I upgrade the OS? What is the latest version?
3) Do they make DivX for PocketPCs?
4) How can I format my television episodes to work on PocketPC? I saw somebody mention this in another thread and nobody answered. I'd love to watch Seinfeld on the go.
5) What are some excellent freeware programs you'd recommend?
6) Any other reccomendations?
Thank you!

Not to PocketPC 2003. Check for the latest updates here:

3) Do they make DivX for PocketPCs?
Yes. Here is a link, or do a search on Google for Pocket Divx.

I'd rather convert them to mpeg and use PocketTV.
4) How can I format my television episodes to work on PocketPC? I saw somebody mention this in another thread and nobody answered. I'd love to watch Seinfeld on the go.

The swiss army knife of format conversion. If you can watch it on your PC, you can convert it to mpeg to watch on your iPAQ.
Then you will need PocketTV to watch them!

You could try Big D's guide, which is available Here
It worked for me and I managed to convert ALL of season three of Farscape from DVD to .WMA for viewing on M/S media player 9 and managed to average about 50meg per episode with VERY pleasing results .
If your converting from DIVX it will be even easier and quicker than from DVD.
Most of the tools required are linked on the website and most are free!
Let us know how you get on.
I'm now considering converting all the episodes of the Sopranos, but as always time is an issue!
