As far as EUU3 vs. EUU4 is concerned, back in 2002, I've tried a lot of
tricks to "hack" even the full (including all the goodies like WMP 8.5 - it
was in EUU3 and not in EUU4 that it was provided) EUU3 on my 16M (ALL
36xx-series iPAQ's have 16M ROM; it's the 37xx series that has 32M) ROM
3660. Despite what the page at
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/pocketpc2002sp3.htm states, the *full* EUU3
was NOT intended for full install on iPAQ 36xx devices - let alone EUU4.

All in all, don't bother with it - I've tried very hard to do some hacking,
without any success.
