$30 Buckeroonies for upgrade!!
If the reports we have been reading are accurate this will be money well spent!
http://msnbc-cnet.com.com/2100-1045_...&subj=cnetnews
Doesn't look as though any new modelsfrom Dell are going to be announced today.
(I got the link from another post, can't remember who's so I can't credit him/her with finding it. Sorry mate!)

From looking over what's new in PPC2003 I'd have to pass on this upgrade. If it was free or around $10 I'd upgrade. I don't do wireless Internet or BlueTooth so I don't see any reason to spend $30.
Hope the next PPC release will be worthwhile...

This is actually a pretty reasonable price. The upgrade from 2000 to 2002 was $50 for my IPAQ so I don't think $29 is unreasonable. It takes some effort for DELL to test the new OS and it sounds like they will be bundling some virus protection software as well. I will probably upgrade because I can't resist the latest and greatest.

Me too, I keep checking Dell's site to try to find the download link.

Apparantly it can be ordered over the phone, check the thread from the front page article. I think I'm going to wait a bit and decide if it's worth $30, or if I should just wait a few more months and get a whole new device. Looks like to get the speed benefits I'd need new hardware.

Yup, a big speed increase would be the only reason I can see to upgrade. From the looks of it, a older Axim will see little or no speed increase. I'll play the wait and see game and see what folks who upgrade say about it, then decide. If anyone has a older X5 advanced with PPC2003 on it speek up |

I'll have to wait as well. I'm in the process of buying a new PC right now and don't have $30 to spend :cry:

I'm ashamed. I hate Ipaqs but I find myself strangely attracted to the 2200. Someone please remind me that I don't need a new PPC now!
