There used to be very interesting development for the wince platform with porting of typical unix applications like emacs[1]. There used to be improvements to the wince launcher from ROM's on xda-developers, but the bit lockers storage have all expired. Doing development is probably not possible since Microsoft's links for the emulators and Visual Studio 2005 have expired. But it is still possible using Free Pascal[2]

The problem with using the camera and video hardware on these old devices is that they are just so slow to load up. Funny that the wifi connectivity and especially the IrDA port would outlast the 2G and 3G for support. I'll have to boot it up to very that the GPS works with CDMA (HTC TyTN II).
For using the keyboard and the general size being about a bar of soap it is easier to hold in the hand.
For getting more applications on the device there is yocto, but the hardware is the problem. Best to stick with wince.
