So, why do you want to upgrade? It doesn't seem like you really have a need
(or *you* would know why)..

CF expansion can include cards like GPS, not just memory. Look to see what
else will fit that may be useful.

If it's needed?

Some have 128MB now, most have 64MB.

That's the problem, isn't it. You need to find something you need.

Why not look through the MS site for inspiration? Look at the updates for
the WindowsMobile OS to see if there is something in there...... MS say:

Zero Configuration Wi-Fi
Bluetooth Support
New Connection Manager
Enhanced Messaging Support
Enhanced Keyboard Support
Enhanced Contacts
Enhanced Calendar
'Pictures' Image Viewer
Windows Media Player 9 Series
Improved Pocket Internet Explorer Performance
Jawbreaker (that'll work!)
(even using the name WindowsMobile OS may help, it hints at a new
capability).

What OS does your current model have? There may be the 2002 advantages over
earlier OS to add.
