Now that Microsoft has, finally, officially released the forthcoming, by Windows Mobile 5 users, highly anticipated AKU3 (please read this article (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1236&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) on what different AKU's are different in) for device manufacturers and rebranders, a lot of new articles have been published on it.
The latest one worth checking out is that of Hong Kong-based website Phone Daily. The original article is here (http://hk.phonedaily.com/news/?news_id=4462), the English "translation" of it here (http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=zh_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.winmobiletech.com%2Fsekalaiset%2FhkAKU3.htm). (Note that BabelFish wasn't able to translate the original page; this is why I had to edit the original page and remove the implicit REFRESH tag to avoid BabelFish promptly switching to the main (Chinese) homepage of the site. The modified and, now, BabelFish-compliant page is here (http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/hkAKU3.htm). Remembering this trick can be pretty useful when you plan to translate any page from Phone Daily - or, for that matter, any web site that is incompatible with BabelFish because of the quiuck redirection.)
Hope AKU3-based ROM upgrades quickly make to current WM5 devices. Note that the unofficial AKU3-based ROM's already released by the XDA-Dev folks for the HTC Universal, Wizard and the MDA III all lack functionality like Bluetooth FTP and Ajax compliance (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1241&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) and, therefore, I do not really recommend them. Don't expect them to support the entire set of new AKU3 features.
