WM6 for HP iPaq hx2495?

[Vapourstreak]

I bought my HP iPaq hx2496 a couple months ago (because of that looks xP), so I'm wondering if we'll ever see a WM6 upgrade for it. It seems like a fairly new product, and I know HP can support older devices (another reason I bought one), so what do you think?

i really hope so, since i love how it looks :D

[EDIT] um.. yea... please also reply and tell me why you think what you thought...

cheers,

I very, very much doubt it - see below.

Sorry, but I think you're wrong on both counts. The 2495 is actually based on a WM2003SE model, with slightly upgraded hardware. The original model was launched in early 2005 IIRC, and the 2495 was issued when WM5 was launched. Also, HP has a spotty record with regards to OS upgrades.

damn. well, my topic is in the buy and sell forum if anyone wants to buy it x). I'll probably switch to the acer n311

Yes, its just the cost-effectiveness analysis which always points
towards new models and not upgrading older ones. Just like
the average driver purchases a new car every 4 years now
and 10 years ago it was more in the 6-7 year range.
