For previous ROM updates released by HP, they typically need ActiveSync installed on the machine to start the process.

You'll need ActiveSync to install the OS update. There are certain platforms that will be supported with the SE edition, but not all of them. For example, I've already heard that the 19XX series won't get the update because it doesn't have enough RAM to support the OS. And some of the Ipaqs will get the update for free (2215 is a BIG candidate for a free upgrade) while other users will have to pay.

But nobody will really know for sure until it's out.

I think this is still one big myth! As far as I know, the 1940s have the same amount of RAM as the 2210s and the 4150s! Check out the posts here:

they have enough RAM .. and enough ROM.. then 1945 that is.... same as the others so it should be able to but the others only have 16MB of ROM instead of 32... ROM is where the OS is installed so the ROM is the more important of the 2 when it comes to upgrades such as this.. :-D
