Yes, I have Maxima 5.6 from 
<http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/maxima-ce.html>
on my iPAQ hx2410 with Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
And the most amazing thing about it is that it works!
Unfortunately there is some unpleasant limitations.
First - Maxima 5.6 is old.
Second - Maxima console window has no vertical scroll
so if output span more that 10-12 lines
you can't see whole expression.

With best regards,

Vadim
