I have a 2003 HP pocket pc and was wondering if there was any way to interface it with the BOE? Like use it as the main processor and memory storage as well as where I could write the code, instead of using a laptop and the stamp it self. I have searched the forums with no luck.

For the Pocket PC itself, you would need something like On Board C [noparse][[/noparse]a Palm product] to program an interface.
Parallax has Bluetooth interface; a modem can go to another modem and down to RS-232; Wi-Fi may be a bit harder.
Also, IRda might be an alternative.

I was thinking more of using the PDA directly like this. With the pocket PC having the servo controlers etc. conected directly to it.
thanks,

Unless I'm mistaken, you only have a serial port on the HP, and to be frank, that's not much to work with when you're trying to control a few servos.
(Even a Nintendo GameBoy would be better as there are Basics out there for it, and it has that great cartridge slot... )
There may be a slot for a memory-card, but the OS will NOT let you have low-level access to it, so it can't be used.
