So far, it looks like Dell will offer the WM2005 upgrade to Axim x50 users and HP will offer the upgrade to ipaq hx2100, hx2400, hx2700 and the hx4700 models.
Alex Kac of Pocket Informant fame just announced at Microsoft Mobile Developer Conference today in Las Vegas that Pocket Informant 2005 will have all the tools needed to work on the new OS.
And yours truly, Brad Isaac, announces that Achieve-IT! 2.0 is ready to go too! Microsoft Corp. unveiled Tuesday a new version of its Windows operating system for mobile devices that unifies the platform for cell phones and Pocket PC handheld computers while adding such features as PowerPoint viewing and internal hard drive support.
Windows Mobile 5.0, introduced by Chairman Bill Gates at the company's annual conference for mobile software developers, also adds support for the miniature typewriter keyboards that are increasingly common on mobile phones and organizers. more... So what's the 'Addict' consensus? Are you looking forward to the new mobile OS or dreading it?
Remember when you bought you PocketPC that was advertised as "upgradable" 2 or more years ago?
Windows Mobile 5 - Whoopee.
It looks like this new version accomplishes 4 basic things:
1) Forces many to have to buy new hardware to "keep up"
2) Renders all hardware older than about 18 months "obsolete", in terms of current feature/function
3) Takes us a step backwards by eliminating wireless Activsync use
4) Alienates owners of PocketPCs in general
Since we all chose to spend more money than Palm solutions to get a better product (at the time), and theoretically got units with upgradable memory for "future operating system upgrades" - THIS IS CLEARLY ANOTHER RIPOFF JOINTLY PROPOGATED BY MICROSOFT AND THE EOMs.
I will wait and see the + and - of it and then decide. Unlike some disgruntled users, I am happy with my device now. If it can do more, great! If not, its still all good. Still don't want a Palm.
