Looks like they are telling people on their support forum that it will "hopefully by Christmas".

I was hoping I could install this on my 4150, and I just went back to see if the update was released. Looks like it's not going to happen:

EDIT: Just found this in their community forums.

NOTE: The sniffer has been discontinued due to lack of user demand (relative to our other products). It still works fine on WM2002, but it will not be updated to WM2003. Current users will still continue to receive their same level of support.
As an alternative sniffer that supports WM2003, we currently recommend vxsniffer: http://www.cam.com/vxsniffer.html

ctmagnus 5000+ Posts? I Should OWN This Site! Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 5,616		:mecry: I was so hoping to be able to use this on an expansion pack-less iPaq! So that now leaves me with a 3670 with horrible battery life or a 5550 that it doesn't work on. And vxSniffer costs 3X as much as I'm willing to pay for Pocket PC software. __________________ iPhone 4! ☠☠☠ Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro! ☠☠☠ Gateway LT2102h! ☠☠☠ Dell XPS M1210!
