In a dramatic about-face, Toshiba and HP have pledged to offer all customers Windows Mobile 2003 upgrades for units that were previously not supported, including the Toshiba e310 and HP iPAQ 1910. In Stay tuned for the ordering URL! Toshiba released this statement:<br /><br />"We realized that by not offering an upgrade to customers who loyally supported the Toshiba brand, we were being bad people. Very bad people. We're really sorry....really."<br /><br />But hey, what do I care, I'm an OQO guy now! Woo hoo! :mrgreen: At least with it running Windows XP, I can get software updates for it, unlike the other versions of Windows. :roll:

I'm not going to upgrade any of my older PPCs unless they give me a free flip lid cover.

Viva la Jornada :!:

I'll second that! Literally laughed out loud when I read that line.

I also like the OQO identifiers under the forum posts today ;-)

Will HP's Windows Mobile 2003 upgrades include an SH3 install? My Jornada 545 is still going strong. If not, I'll still be satisfied just upgrading my Jornada 568.

Of course, to make it a really good joke you should've included a promise to upgrade the Jornada [sob]

You had me, LOL, I almost even cross posted about it to another site. This was even after I told my kids they could skip school today, then a few minutes later I asked them "remember what day it is?".
