How can I get ipaq SDK?

I have an ipaq 1945 and I want to get the ipaqutil.dll for it. It's
not on the device. I copied that DLL from ipaq 5555 and it doesn't
seem to get the serial number correctly.

I have looked on the HP site and it seems you have to pay $199 to get
a developer membership to download the SDK? And I am not even sure
if the GetSerialNumber routine will work on the IPAQ 1945.

What should I do, should I just pay to play?

I may be wrong on this but, it is my understanding that the dll is only
available on the 3000 and newer machines.

If you only want to get the serial number from an IPAQ than have a look
at this: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/serial_number.html

Portions of the sdk work with the 5500 / 2200 / 4300 series iPAQs. I have
worked quite a bit with the iPAQ sdk and did an article that might be a good
starting point...

However... I can't recall that _any_ of the sdk's were for use in the 1900
series. You may be out of luck. IMHO - HP's re-launch of the iPAQ developer
program... has been very weak. I for one am very hesitant to give them any
money... until I start seeing some of their Bluetooth calls work. Their
hardware is great... their support for developers is disappointing.
