I've got a HP ipaq "travel companion"...has the built in GPS...it is
unable to run ministumbler, however wififofum works well. To be honest
with you, I am not that impressed with this unit and would not highly
recommend it.

Hi Paul,
I've not had any luck with ministumbler on WM6.
I tried ministumber on my Windows Mobile 6-based AT&T Tilt (aka 8925 aka
HTC TyTN II). "Not a valid PocketPC application" was the error.
This got me reading the ministumbler release notes and noticing the last
release was in 2004, and it was probably hopeless. :-)
However, on this HTC phone that includes an 802.11 radio and GPS...
these toys seem to work very nicely together with WiFiFoFum2 to make a
self contained war walking/driving tool that will log GPS locations of
accesspoints if that adds any value for you:

I've not done a ton with this phone in this respect, however, and would
be interested in what folks have had good luck with in terms of
wireless tools for WM6. Something with a bit more functionality for
pentesting would be nice to have in a pocketable device.
