Hi,
I was thinking about what moves to take to make WM5.0 compatible with the Alpine platform. The Alpine platform uses an Intel PXA272 chip which has most of the logic for things like bluetooth/wifi etc. from what I could see quickly while browsing through some documents.
Because of this I went looking for a PXA272 based device with WM5.0 on it and I found one PDA (not a phone device I fear) on Microsoft's Windows Mobile website: The Intermec CN30
A PDF with specifications can be found here:

Unless I'm very wrong a ROM dump of this device and some driver modules (Wifi in this case since the device supports the g standerd, QVGA driver and perhaps a bluetooth and keyboard driver) should be enough to build a (partially) working version. I admit that I'm a noob to building my own WM5.0 version but it was just a thought I wanted to share, especially since it's the first WM5.0 based PDA I've seen with the PXA272 processor.
