Rumor: No WM2003 SE for existing iPAQs

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Yep, you're eyes weren't deceiving you. The same news was posted on the
front page of Aximsite.com, Chris's other PDA forum. Looks like it's a done
deal for Dell and HP PDA's, no WM 2003 SE. If it weren't true, I'd think
both HP and Dell would come back with a statement. I really don't think
there will be an official press release by either company.

I have an HP 4155 (not even a few months old) and now I hear they won't be
releasing the Mobile 2003 SE for it... I am NOT happy.

Fool me once HP, shame on you...

Not Surprised. Our application (that works perfectly on WM2003 on iPAQ
2210's) is completely unusable on WM2003SE.
IMHO, WM2003 Second Edition is simply NOT ready for primetime.
Good decision by HP.

Bear in mind that for non-VGA PPC, the only usefull feature of WM2003SE
is the display rotation. I'd rather not have that than get a whole new
set of bugs.

I agree. Don't really get all the hoopla over this issue. My 2215 works
just fine as is and I don't see where SE would add any real functionality
without a VGA screen.

I wouldn't say that screen rotation is the only useful addition.One other
big one that comes to mind that is important to some people is the
improvement to Pocket Internet Explorer in 2nd Edition. The One-Column
formatting works very well and the HTML rendering engine seems much faster
to me.

Hmm ... I don't agree completely ...
I use Nyditot to create a virtual desk which is much better than the
small windows I usually get on the ppc.
Having an IPAQ 2215, I wished I could change resolutions without the
need of a reboot.
(This way I can change to Excel and use a large deskop, while using
TomTom will stillfunction on a normal PPC screen size)
