I'm thinking about buying a HPC/PPC, but i which of them is the best for playing games? (i thought about : Jornada 710[ Xpensive :P ],Audiovox Maestro, Toshiba e310 or one of the Ipaqs)

if you prefer one of them or know a better alternative,please post...

PocketQuake does not work on a Jornada 710. Well...actually it does...but you have to keep hard-reseting the device (you will lose all data) when you want to play.

Well...you mentioned the J710 and PocketQuake. They don't go! Im dure you'd rather I told that you splash the cash and be dissapointed.

The general rule is that HPC's (Clamshell devices like the J710) have very little in the way of games.

PPC's have lots more games because they have Microsoft GAPI. (Games Programming libary)
HPC's don't have a first-party games solution. You either have to write your own, which is very difficult. Use GAPI HPC which literaly works on one HPC, The english 720. Or use GameX, which only supports older CPU's. (SH-3 & MIPS)

I don't know anything about the Maestro, If the IPAQ's an oldie, then it's because it's a goodie. I've also heard very complementary reports of the Toshiba PPC.

allright.
I'll also buy an PPC, but which? I could get the Ipaq h3538 very cheap... do you think it's a good machine for playing Games ?

No. I'd go for the Casio E200 or the Maestro.
