The official list is Dell Axim X50/X50v series, HP iPAQ hx2000 series, HP iPAQ hx4700 series, and Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX 718 and 720 series. I haven't included the list of rugged handhelds receiving Windows Mobile 5.0 because I doubt you'd be interested in those. If you are though, let me know.

Thanks. Sure, could you give them to me? Is the Olympia a rugged PDA?

So far, it's just Intermec (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40065) with the CN30 and CK60, but Symbol did tell me that they were also planning on releasing Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrades for their eligible devices (I believe they still have to release a PR on this though).

Is the Olympia a rugged PDA?

Not what I had in mind.

Oh wait... The Olympia PDA uses Windows CE .Net 4.2. Which Win CE version is the new WinMb5 based on?

I just remembered that the E-TEN M500 is in that list as well. Sorry for chiming in a day late, but you know how the mind works on a weekend. ;)

Oh that's ok. I think I will end up sticking w/the axim x50v.
