Windows Media Player 10 Mobile requires some OS integration only available
on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. To actually install this new player
on a device the user will need to flash the ROM, and this will be provided
by the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

So far only Dell (X30) and HP (rx37xx series) are releasing updates.

Guess that leaves me out then. I have an iPaq rx3100, which I think is non-
flashable.

I hesitate to tell you, but all PPCs are flashable. The question is whether
the OEM releases and upgrade or not. It is up to them.

The 3115 is flashable and the upgrade ROM that contains WMP10 is currently
available at HP's web site. I'm running it on my 3115 without any problems
so far.

Where did you download a ROM update for the rx3115? I've seen one for the
rx3700 series, but not for my device.

Foo - did you find it? I just followed the links on HP's web site.

Does WMP10 offer any advantages over WMP9 that are worth taking up RAM space
for? I'm curious as I thought the only real enhancement was those
picture-video-slideshows that MS came up with. Is there anything else?

Can WMP10 be installed on an HP 4155?

Worth it is up to the individual. It enhances the media synchronization when
paired with MP10 on the desktop, adding significant transcoding capability
for videos. It does not take up any RAM because it is only available as a
ROM update for a couple of devices, or pre-installed on some newer ones. You
needn't worry about the advantages though, as it is not available for the
4155. (I have one too)
