Software Compatibility with Pocket PC 2003
Some sites are already compiling lists of software and compatibility with Pocket PC 2003. The above-linked one seems to imply most work without a hitch, and I'd suspect others will be rapidly updated. If you have personal experiences, post them below!

So why upgrade
So far for me personally I have not found a reason to actually upgrade to the 2003 OS as of yet. If there is some do or die reason, I would like to hear your comments on it

That is to be expected. It was tied so closely with the Pocket PC 2002 OS. I suspect they are working on it and will have an update soon.
The only app I know is Pocket Bible. It works, but the spacing is off now, presumably because of changes to IE, which PB uses to render pages. And cleartype doesn't work in it either. I hope both are minor issues.

We have emailed them about that they said they are aware , it's based on how Pocket IE renders pages (it piggy backs on IE) they say they are working on a fix and expect to release an update shortly.....

Read today that Extended Systems Mobile Solutions will support Microsoft's Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs as well.
:wink:

Ironically, Microsoft Pocket Money doesn't work 
MovianVPN causes my Toshiba e755 WiFi ti fail. Uninstall and all is fine again.
Audible.com books that were readable with Microsoft Reader do not work - but work fine with the Audible Player app.
CnetX Flash Format causes hard reset.
Notable apps that do work are Resco File Explorer, Registry editor and Sprite's Pocket Backup - personally tested by me after the Cnetx fiasco
I have found no game yet that doesn't work.

Dashboard beta 2.026 doesn't work - yet. Pre version 2, i.e. 1.5 does work.
Laridian Pocket Bible works
HPC Notes Pro 4.0 works
