I can't confirm it myself, but this is a little too cool to pass up. The German tech blog Technology Ninja is reporting that some guy got iTunes to run on his Windows Mobile handheld. The original post is tragically low on details, and the whole thing looks magnificently hoaxy to me. But if it is true, PDAs just got a whole lot cooler.

But, partly because the handheld versions of Windows Media Player and Real Player both essentially suck, it never came to pass. If iTunes comes to the Windows Mobile handheld, however, I may yet escape without egg on my face.
