Just picked up Flip It! for my Dell Axim.  It’s a simple draw program that lets you create animations from your doodling.  It has onion skinning to help me out and I can color and save the final production.  I can produce animations anywhere.  It’s not professional by any means but its cheep and its fun.  It even loads into you games folder, if tells you anything.

where is flip it from, how much is it? website?

does it compare to project dogwaffle? (just for the animation part)

I dunno what a pocket PC is, either. but "onion-skinning" was the traditional, tedious method they used in the early years of the previous century to do 2d hand-drawn animations. they needed dozens or hundreds of staff to churn out a cartoon every two weeks. standards were lowered sufficiently by various studios, e.g. handle-barbarian, which paved the way for stuff like "south park" or whatever they call that thing on comedy central, the one with boned cut-outs manipulated over backgrounds in maya or whatever. the one that isaac hayes quit because he said it was racist or misogynist or anti-tom-cruise or something.

Long ago they were refered too as PDA's or Palm Pilots.  Palm has recently quit their OS and now licenses Microsoft Windows Mobil 5.  So now all future handheld computers will run on Windows.  Like the desktop and the laptop, the handheld has grown in power.  We now refer to these as Pocket Personal Computers or the more common and short Pocket PC.

my brother has a cell phone/pda that's I guess one of those new generation pocket pc's with sliding keyboard, as a 'cell phone' it's amazing that he can receive and email containing powerpoint attachments and play them, also video and music files like an ipod plays video etc...

they come with digital camera sensors at 3 mega pixels too. wow.

Yes, you are starting to see more and more cell phones running on Windows Mobile 5 these are referred to as "smartphones."

We went to a resterant last night and my wife breaks out her hand held TV.  I break out my Pocket PC.  My son asks me if I have any games on it.  I said sure and loaded up Flip It!  I show him the program examples and he take it and starts doing animation form then till we left.  He got hooked right away doing stickdeath.com animations.
