Is there a software for controling X10 using a handheld pc?

I presume it's running Windows CE.  I don't believe AHP would run on it, plus the CM15A is a little big for a handheld.  You might PM X10 Pro and ask him if X10USA is planning anything for X10 control from a handheld PC.

If any of the other CO's knows of any X10 control software for Windows CE, please chime in.

I'm assuming you have AHP already and looking to interface with it since you posted to Activehome General.
If you download X10dispatcher  (http://www.x10dispatcher.com) you can use a PDA with it or so posts on othe boards suggest!in any case you can use msn or emai lwith it!
Also I'm moving this here as there may be another thirdparty addon or software that may allow this! ;)
Activehome Pro doesn't need to be on your PDA but x10dispatcher will need to be on your home PC, ;) it allows you to interact using ! ;)

Thanks everyone for your answers, will check the dispathcer software you talked about.

A little background why I want to use a Handheld PC, I have an old one wich I don't use any more, so I want to set it as a "Touchscreen controler" how does this idea sounds?
