iPAQ 4700 WM5 Upgrade Delayed Again... To April 1
Readers have been sending us unofficial reports of a delay in ordering the iPAQ hx4700 upgrades, which were supposed to be available on March 1. The HP UK website has finally been updated, making the delay official due to a "delay in manufacturing". Here, check it out:
8O You just can't make this stuff up. UK iPAQ readers, I have no idea if you should take any April 1 post by us on the subject seriously. And as for the rest of us, I'm guessing it should ship earlier in the US, but this is HP we're dealing with. :?

I still stick by my morbid prediction that this update will never be released.
I hope I'm wrong but....

I imagine the April 1 date is just an estimate as April 1 is a Saturday. It may be they don't know for sure so they just put April 1 as a nice round number to list.

Delayed due to manufacturing

! :roll:
It's downloaded! Most of us won't order the CD! I guess they are manufacturing the bits and their EVA SAN is out of disk space. :bad-words:

PS if they don't deliver it who's up to tolietpapering Clinton's house with me?

Yeah....right...manufacturing...they must mean that they are uploading the patch onto their servers with a 2400 baud modem or something.

April 1st!? This must be HP's way of telling us what they think of the customer. I am one April Fool that will never buy an HP PPC again! I guess they don't care anymore as they claim they are on to more important things like phones! One would think that HP would-be so ashamed mad embarrassed that they would post the update for free to try to regain some goodwill. But I am sure they are too busy trying to figure out what color to paint the iPODs so they can resell them as "innovative' HP products! ROFL!!!!

Actually, HP has dropped the iPod redistribution/rebranding deal, so they don't even have that excuse.

Actually, don't be in such a hurry for WM5. After all my adventures these past months with the Sprint 6700 (a great device IMO) and the piece of crap that is ActiveSync 4, I long for the days of AS 3.8, which was merely mediocre as opposed to the complete uselessness of AS 4.
