It wont suddenly and magicaly lose the capabilities it has NOW.
well, when 99% of the softwares/games don't work on your unit, it's a bit sad, even if it's a great unit (I loved my E-100)

anyway i just hope they release it, for now it's not a big deal, but for future, it may hurt... I keep the unit, i like it

This is unlikely to happen with PPC2002 devices for quite some time. Since they have the same processor class as WM2003 devices, you won't have the backwards-compatibility issues that MIPS devices like the old Casio units had. Besides, the vast majority of people still have PPC2002 devices, including myself.

Agreed! It's always nice to have the latest version.

I have see an Axim on 2002 being upgraded on 2003. The performance boost for emulation is incredible.. was 4 to 10 time faster. on 2002, he got similar performance as me (about 5fps on Snes and Genesis) then with the update, he got 20fps to 40fps ! if my small V35 can be as fast, I will be happy.. oh and Viewsonic don't answer my email anymore.. :cry:

Edit: Update is avalaible in Taiwan
