I'm guessing - NOT. I think most programs will have to be ported to
the PNA (not PDA) architecture and hardware environment (serial ports,
internal GPS, display, etc).

I expect it would might work for a few reasons, inclding screen
resolution, orientation etc., but just a technical point the V2 is a
Windows Mobile 6 device and from that viewpoint differs from
typical"PNA"s that use Windows CE only.

Here's a data point:

In September I wanted to see if the new Binatone R350, which was
advertising a 'brighter new display', was any better than my 3 year old
B.350 (it wasn't). I did this by persuading persuaded my local Maplins to
let me stick an SD card in their shop display unit and run up LK8000 3.0d
for a side-by-side comparison in direct sun.

My B.350 uses Windows Mobile 6 and the R350 uses Windows CE 6 .NET. I'd
cloned the SD card, so both PNAs were running identical LK8000 installs.
Both 'just worked'.

A couple of years ago we discovered that older B.350s were running
Windows Mobile 5 but later batches of what was labelled as the same PNA
used Windows Mobile 6. Again, the same version of LK8000 'just ran' on
both machines.
