So what? Look, it's one thing to no provide an upgrade on an entry level $199 Pocket PC. The person who's buying the cheapest Pocket PC on the market either knows it probably won't get an upgrade, or they don't know any better. A $450 device is a mid/high end device that is a significantly larger investment, and the expectation of an upgrade is more reasonable. HP is alienating their customers, hurting the Pocket PC ecosystem, and I'm calling them out on it.
