Changing the fire button on Compaq Ipaq's? The action pad button is a hard button to use on the Compaq especially when its primary fire. I'd recommend moving it to one of the smaller buttons to enable movement while firing. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, not possible. The iPaq has a button problem that disallows simultaneous pressing of a button and the directional (game) pad (with the exception of the action button). They could fix this in the hardware but have officially stated that they "do not see this is a problem and will not address it".

Stupid mistake on their part IMHO.
I suspect as soon as some of these newer devices come out without this type of problem, Compaq will loose there advantage and end up scratching their heads wondering where they went wrong (even though thousands of us told them what they should fix).
