The truth about the program limitation on the HTC Himalaya platform (XDA II, MDA II, etc)
November 24, 2003 [Pocket PC phone] | By anonymous 1.

Are you current owner of XDA II or you contemplate buying it in near future? Then consider reading it:

The real problem is a different one and it is because the Windows CE platform isn't able to handle more than 32 processes simultaneously!

... if plan to run too many applications at once, it may not work out...

Moreover:

Users never have seen it before because by default Pocket PCs were never running that much processes after a softreset. Unfortunately it's different with the HTC Himalaya platform because by default it's running the typical Pocket PC apps plus the Pocket PC Phone Edition applications plus some HTC and O2 customized stuff like Bluetooth, IA Caller ID, IA Camera and for the O2 version O2 Active UI. This means that on a xda II something around 26 tasks are already running in the background - right away after a softreset. Now imagine if you install Spb GPRS Monitor, Pocket Plus and Fullscreen Keyboard also! One task is left for a customer application. Now start ActiveSync which starts 3 tasks by itself and you are done! Your device will need a softreset!
