You'll want to be careful that those can actually be developed for.
If they won't run the latest WinCE, you might be stuck with a version
for which free/cheap development tools are unavailable or non-existant.

My first exposure to palmtops was a Mips-based WinCE 1.0 thing that I
*WON* at a trade show.  I quickly discovered that my development
options were slim (and expensive), and that I could (barely) upgrade to
wince 2
for a significant pricetag.  So it sat on a shelf, and eventually I
bought a Palm.  (I haven't actually DONE any development for it, mind
you, aside from the MIDI hardware interface, but at least the
possibility is there ... :-)
