iPAQ hx4700 gets Windows Mobile 5.0!
In a move that surprised the heck out of me, HP has announced they will actually offer an upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 for a few of their current Pocket PC models — including my hx4700! Given the track record they’ve had with upgrades for previous iPAQs, part of me will still believe this when I see it, but I’m thrilled to see this announcement! And Dell is offering the same upgrade to their X50 series Axims, which is nice since that’s what we use in the office. Thanks HP and Dell!
Update: According to HP, due to “third-party driver delays,” the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade for the hx4700 series has been delayed until the first quarter of 2006. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by this. I could probably count the number of hands raised right now and never leave the single digits…
